I use biwire on all speakers I have owned that offer the capability. Have not compared the sound in many years, just do it out of habit now.

My experience has been Bi-wiring sounds slightly better integrated and a bit more spacious.
Have tried both ways on B&W 805S, 805D, Sonus Faber Olympica II and currently SF Guarneri Evolutions.
Tried both ways on each and virtually always prefer bi-wired sound. Just my two cents...

I have 802 Diamonds and I bi-wire, currently with Tributaries series 6 with banana plugs on the speaker end and spades going to the McIntosh MC601 4 ohm terminals.

As someone else mentioned, I don't know if there would be an audible difference using the jumpers. I did an audition recents at a dealer who had all my same equipment, and used mid-grade Transparent cables with the B&W factory supplied jumpers. Sound was awesome.

I use the jumpers, mainly because the amp sits between the the speakers, so the cables are quite short.

One point to note:

For those using 800 Diamonds, on the latter production runs (post 2013), the connection between the MT binding posts and the mid and tweeter crossover boards uses individual cables internally, while on earlier ones the connection to the mid crossover board is routed via the tweeter crossover board, so the M and T share a common connecting cable.

I landed up going with Biwire, banana connectors, but all WW have the uniterminals allowing easy change to spades if required.
