Speaker Jumpers - Same Brand as Speaker Cables?

My speakers are best bi-wired. I currently have bi-wire speaker cables, but am considering buying very high-priced and probably better speaker cables that are single wire. The manufacturer of the new cables sells jumpers, but they are very expensive and not available used. Do I run an audible risk if I use jumpers from another manufacturer, or should I be "in for a penny, in for a pound" and bite the bullet? Thanks for the advice.

There is another thread on Agon you should look at.

The brand of cable depends on your speaker. I would contact the manufacturer and find out what they recommend.
That being said, I would get true bi wire cables and be done with it.
Audioquest makes very good cables, and a GO-4 is relatively inexpensive and give good results.
What is your speaker? and what cables are you looking at?

@nonoise .
Aren't you concerned about shorting the wires if they touch something metallic between the two posts?
