Bi-wires links for speakers ?

@gdnrbob, I see that you seem to be a big fan of Richard Vandersteen.
His speakers have never really moved me personally. I realize that he has many fans though.

That said, I think the key 4 words in Richard’s quote are "GIVEN SIMILAR WIRE QUALITY". That is where my experiences have changed.

I do not disagree that bi-wiring is superior if using the same cables for single wire and bi-wire. The question, in the real world, where budget comes into play, is what sounds better? Two lesser cables, or one superior cable with jumper?

I will use my current cables as an example. I am running JPS Labs Aluminata speaker cables ($7799 per 6 foot pair) with Aluminata jumpers ($860). I CANNOT afford to run the Aluminata in bi-wire configuration. I CAN afford to run JPS Labs Superconductor 3 ($3099 per 6 foot pair) in bi-wire configuration. I have heard both ways, and in my system, the Aluminata sound better single wired with jumper than the bi-wired Superconductor 3.
I have noted this to be true with other brands as well. Obviously YMMV.

So my point does NOT really vary from RV’s, because he is assuming that all wires are of equal quality. This is a theoretical (fantasy?) world view.
My view is more of a real world view, where cost IS a factor.

I think if cost were not a factor, we would all be bi-amping and bi-wiring with the top of the line amps and cables.

FWIW, gdnrbob is a dealer, though he doesn't like to disclose that information, as it may show his bias. So obviously he will think that if you bi-wire you will spend twice as much on cables as you were planning to. 

So what!  Everybody has a bias and if purchasing decision is based on a free open forum post, get what they deserve.

So many devided opinions :(

I will take a pare of Tellurium Ultra black Bi-wire cables links/jumpers from my dealer for home demo over weekend .I do believe that some kind of difference will happen but I don’t what exactly...

So many devided opinions :(

Status Quo.
You will find no unanimous opinions on almost any question in audio, or life.
In the end, we all must form our own opinions.
What works for someone else may or may not work for you.

@jmcgrogan2 
Most people cannot afford own $8K worth of speaker cable. 
And, none that do should admit it.

The question, in the real world, where budget comes into play, is what sounds better? Two lesser cables, or one superior cable with jumper?

You quote implies that only the costliest/best/most transparent/(insert your adjective) wire is going to provide decent sound production and doing  anything less not worth doing.
If so, I disagree.
Given the OP's $3K speakers and McIntosh gear, the cost of true biwiring should not be an issue.
 
How much difference he will notice in biwiring is something only he can determine.
My point in directing him to Vandersteen's website is that Richard has been making speakers for 40 years and that if he can hear a difference, then those who ask for guidance should give his opinion weight.
