Ghirteen: I already purchased the second set of cables for the "failed" biamp, so I am stuck with an additional 38' of Kimber Kable. I was surprised that the jumpers that I made out of the Kimber actually sounded better than the shotgun biwire setup, but it may be due to the length of the runs, the amp or who knows. I am giving up on the bi-amp for now using Musical Fidelity equipment (long story) and will be picking up a pair of more efficient speakers Monday, either Coincident Triumphs or Reynaud Twins (they will be fine with my 50 watt MF amp in the living room). I will move my Castle speakers into the guest bedroom, that is 1/4 the size of the living room, and set them up nearfield at the computer. The Castles are rated at 87db efficiency but seem to require a great deal of power/drive (way more than the 75 watts that my MF puts out) or a small room to sound there best. So this brings me back to the DIY silver jumpers which may even sound better than the Kimber ones that I made up. Though I am not keen on connecters I did use solderless gold bananas for the bi-amp cable and have to admit that it was alot easier than stuffing two ten gage wires into an eight gage hole. Trelja mentioned an aviation quality wire crimper that looks like a good thing to own as well. I am going to be swamped for the next three days or so. You may want to email Homegrownaudio.com and see if they have a line on all silver bananas. I know that I have seen them listed with "some" cable in the past, though the "some" escapes me right now (I keep thinking MIT for some reason).
