Tannoy Speakers & Bi-wiring

I have a pair of Tannoy Canterbury speakers using Atma-Sphere amps. Currently I am using single wire (audience AU24) and the supplied brass jumper. Wondering what the experience of any Tannoy users out there is in bi-wiring and what kind of wires you have used. I'm thinking about trying this with a budget of about $1,000 used so really can't get into the mega expensive cables. Really curious.

fwiw when using a single run of wire with jumpers there are 3 (actually 4) ways to hook them up.

1) speaker wire to woofer and jumpers to tweeter
2) speaker wire to tweeter and jumpers to woofer
3) one speaker wire to - woofer and one to + tweeter (or vise versa) and jumpers between them like normal.

Bob Neill from Amhearst Audio recommends the 3rd option and I found it to be the best choice because it eliminates (for the most part) favoring one of the drivers over the other which I found happens when using the normal jumper hookup method.

I hope I made myself clear and there are no mishaps because of miscommunication.
