I had tried multiple jumpers and jumper configurations and this was the one that worked for me.

Rather than going with a shotgun bi-wire (for now
), I opted for this more extreme max'ing out of my jumper strategy for the R1s;

This improved the already impressive bass and sub-bass performance of the R1s with even better articulation/all other aspects. It also has had the side effect of improving the mids and treble behavior of a speaker beyond even what I had been experiencing to-date.
I have not brought myself yet to try the 'diagonal' methods of jumpering again; there is something about effectively partially reversing polarity on the speaker that is causing me to shy away from this (for now).
