Replacing Jumpers = Bi-wiring??

Hi! I have replaced my stock copper jumpers that came with my Mission speakers with 6 inch strands of speakers cables. I was using symo speaker cables and have some short lenghts left over. What I did was solder the lengths to some bananas and used it to bridge the hi/lo of the speakers. Sounded better. However, I am currently using Pure Silver Sound Pure Silver Bridge for bi-wire speakers from Mr. Frank Steele. It's made of pure silver and it sounded clearer than my D.I.Y effort.

Hi! I am using XLO Reference Type 5 bi-wire on my Apogees. I am comtemplating upgrading my XLO Reference bi-wire to a single pair of XLO Signature or even perhaps Electraglide silver speaker cables. The problem is that bi-wiring is not exactly cheap. So my personal view is buy that speaker cables and that if you can afford it later, buy another pair and go bi-wire. Maybe you will be so happy with the sound that you might not want to bi-wire.
