Bi-wires links for speakers ?

I heve the Proac Studio 140MKII single wire connected to my Mcintosh system with Tellurium Q Ultra Black speakers cables ,my speakers have the standard metal strip jumpers which came with the speakers and I am considering to replace it with the Tellurium Ultra black Bi-wire cables links which are not cheap at all.
Is it worth it ? Do I get sound improvement by replacing standard jumpers with hi-end Bi-wire links?

I will attest to the post of fossda and ithak1969. I have a single run of expensive good sounding wire to my Gamut RS7i speakers. I ran the cheap links sent with the speakers and they severely degraded the sound. I ended up with custom made jumpers from the speaker cable manufacturer with the same layout/conductors as the cable itself. Sonic bliss and total seamlessness. The only thing better is two single runs of speaker cable from the amp. end to the speaker terminals. My amp. will accommodate two runs with 4 terminals on the amp. end. I have yet to try it due to the cost of the cable but I do intend to try it someday.

Since this post is fresh I now have just finished my ability to listen to jumpers made of the same cable and running single wires to the speakers. Here is the catch....the bass terminals I am trying a cheaper run made by the same manufacture and the more expensive to the midrange/tweeter terminals. FYI the cable is Stage lll Mantikor to the midrange and Stage lll Magnus Prime to the bass. Both use silver/palladium ribbon conductors with a slightly different layout. 
My Jadis monoblocks have 4 output terminals giving you a hint from France.
Knghifi was spot on above in my case. What I am hearing is a much better timed speaker with a bigger soundstage and separation of the passage. Bass is better integrated and there is no smearing as in the jumpers. You might not note the smearing until you discover it without. 
As good as the jumpers were and made with the same conductors my Gamut RS7i like the direct power from the amp. via wire in two single runs. I wished I could try two Mantikors but funds don't allow it. I will be switching the cheaper cable to the midrange terminals and seeing the results also.  This hobby is really about experimentation and being crazy over it. This is my findings as YMMV.
