Using speaker cable as jumpers


Hello, everyone
I'm kind of new in this forums, and I guess I will ask something already spoken here a couple of years ago.
I have a pair of Martin Logan's Ascent bought 2nd hand but the jumpers they "bring are 2 pieces of thick copper (pretty much oxidated). I'm wondering if I can/should replace them by Kimber 8TC (which are the cables I'm using with them).

Any suggestions / opinions will be pretty much apreciated.

Thanks

I also made my own jumpers made out of the same speaker cable that I'm using. This is a critical connection that is often over looked. I've tried a couple different options from using the stock bronze plates to a couple different speaker cables. All made a noticeable sonic difference in my rig.

If you are using the Kimber for your speaker cables and are happy with the synergy they are making, then by all means keep the jumpers Kimber too. But before I did that, I would clean the old jumpers with some caig deoxit and see how they sound cleaned up. Then do a shoot out between the old cleaned jumpers and the Kimbers.
