Best speaker wiring

Reviewing some threads on speaker cables for my bi-wirable speakers, I have learned there are different ways of wiring. I was wondering which wiring is the best of the followings and why if possible, assuming the same materials and prices.

1. Single line bare wiring jumping with bare wires/jumpers
2. Double line bare wiring
3. Internally bi-wired cables with two connectors in amp end and four connectors in speaker end
4. Internally bi-wired cables with four connectors in amp end and four connectors in speaker end.
5. Wiring with two sperate pairs of cables

Thank you.

Unfortunitely, the only way for you to know for sure is to try it yourself.
Each method you mention could be the best or worst depending on what speakers, what cables, what jumpers if you don't biwire, what amplifier, your hearing, yada yada yada.

You can also biwire, etc, using a different type/brand of cable for the high and low frequency terminals.

If you don't biwire, definitely get rid of the stock jumpers they give you with the speakers. Most (not all) people who use jumpers, have more luck putting the cables to the high frequency terminals, with the jumpers going to the low frequency terminal. (Try it both ways.)

This should keep you busy for about a month or more!
