Speaker Jumpers

@mclinnguy -  

“One of the most significant changes is that we no longer make us of aluminium in our cables. Aluminium is popular mainly because it is affordable and easy to work with. But due to its brittle and artificial tone as well as the hysteresis effects it causes, it is in no way a suitable material for audio equipment. That is probably why there aren’t any musical instruments made of aluminium…….”

So basically, the key advertising hook from a company that is literally selling a 3M pair of speaker cables for $150K is that they “no longer make us (use) of aluminium in our cable”.

That’s reassuring, KUDOs to the engineering department, let me go find my wallet.

@mclinnguy correct, $24,000 for 6" long jumpers = $4000 per inch. Think about this,  you can do the entire wiring with plugs,  switches, basic lights, an electrical panel and an  EV charger for $25,000 for the average 2500 sf home!

$150,000 for those speaker cables! Did you notice they don't even specify the length of them? 

My cousin lives in a condo and doesn't have the luxury of having components and speakers like me,  but what he does have is a great headphone with an amplifier and he's extremely happy. No messing around with cables,  room treatment,  or money spent on endless tweaks and upgrades that amount to nothing other than frustration and disappointment. 

Bi-wire. No jumpers. Done. Your system will sound better.

@tomcarr ​I remember seeing a video on YouTube What's in the box!?!?!?! - Klipsch LaScala AL5 Disassembly by Top Shelf Audio. So I watched it again and BOOM here  it is just like I was thinking. You can easily fasten the LF cables directly to the HF and MF cables internally at the terminals.  Therefore no need for jumpers or biwires. Just direct wires to wires internally fastened to the corresponding +ve and -ve terminal. I reached out to Klipsch.  Let's see what they say.​​​​​​

Good to know!
