Sonus Faber Olympica III's - anyone using jumpers on them ????

A quick question for Sonus Faber Olympica III owner's ........I have had MY SF's about there months now with about 80 hours on them and they are starting to settle in now. I have my single wire speaker cable runs connecting to the lower terminals and using the supplied SF Jumpers. My question is  - has anybody added some '' real '' jumpers to these speakers ........and how did you hook them up ???? I have Cardas Clear Beyond single run speaker cables ....and the spades on these are very thick .......so a concern is that I will not be able to add another thick spade to the same lower terminal .......I may also have to in the future go to a wider sized spade as I am currently bending the cable to enter the terminal from the side and not from the bottom of the terminal. Your thoughts and thank you in advance

Not a SF owner, but can speak for a recent change to jumpers and their possible merits.

I own a pair of Opera floorstanders (they're at least Italian!)which have biwire connections that I utilized until I upgraded cables(non biwire)

While I actually never listened with the stock  jumper plates, I initially used copper foil, and the sound was great. I also experimented with both upper and lower posts, as many insist the UPPER may improve sonics. Couldn't hear a difference.

Purchased jumpers of equal quality to the cable and it did make a sonic improvement, along with connecting cables into top post.

I experienced this, and I'm a HUGE skeptic of audio voodoo-especially cable.

The best way IMO, is to buy a pair(banana plug in your case) and try. You can alway return them if you aren't satisfied.

Good luck.
