Never been a real fan of bi-wiring, so, I'd agree with Mick. Invest in a really good (Spatia comes to mind) single cable rather than bi-wire with links at the speaker (again Spatia comes to mind). In my experience a better solution is to close couple the amps to the speakers.  then for some the ultimate solution is probably bi-amping, but that's another story.

Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

Thanks Aussie Mick, Proprii? Are those cables? Thanks!
I see you are looking for a set of speakers, I will have an extra NIB pair of ProAc Tablette 10 for sale within the next 2-3 weeks, Ebony and Maple. Happy looking, and then listening.

Everything is subjective, but from the research I've done Bi-wiring hasn't gotten a lot of love. However, Bi-Amping seems to get more of a positive response.

Hi Chester
A few mouths ago I replaced my cables and I connected a dealer and asked them what to do as far bi wiring and I was told that it was best to spend say £200s on a single cable than to spit it into two and that I would get better sound quality with a single pair of cables at that budget, they said bi amping got better results. Has for jumper cables don't forget to use the same cables you are using to connect your amp to your speakers
I have looked into bi wiring in the past and I did not hear any difference between single and bi wiring the speakers I was using at the time
Any how I did take the dealers advice and have never looked back

I guess it's subjective but what I really want to say is that I think bi-wiring is all smoke and mirrors. That said, I don't really know if it makes a difference. I used to bi-wire (hence my name) using a dedicated bi-wiring cable  -  ie 2 bananas at the amp end and 4 at the 'speaker end, but about ten years ago changed to a more aesthetically acceptable (to my other half) cable which is single wired and used along with jumpers of the same cable, and I can't tell any difference.

If anything, I suspect that Jonathan's advice above would get my vote.
