VR4 HSE Silver Jumpers?

I was reading throught the Von Schweikert VR4 manual this weekend and noticed they recommend silver speaker wire to tighten the bass. I'm using MAS Signature Hybrid speaker wire which is a single strand of silver wire with stranded OFC copper. I presently run my speaker wire to the M/T enclosure, and then run a jumper to the woofer. I know VSA suggests bi-wiring, but in my set-up this is not feasible. I actually tried bi-wiring with Canare 4S11 at one point, and compared it to using jumpers, and I didn't discern a difference.

Anyway, the question...

Does anyone think changing my jumpers from an all-copper quad geometry wire to a solid core silver wire would make a difference in the bass response?

After wading through the muck, here is what I offer.

I owned VR4 Silvers years ago. I started out with cables from the amp to the woofer module with jumpers to the top. Sounded good to me. But it was only when I bi-wired them that the sound became truly excellent. So I think that you are limiting the performance of your VR4s by not biwiring, forget that jumper business.
