Default Bi-wire or jumpers on 7T?
Just started breaking in my 7T's which arrived yesterday--man, I think they are lovely in Rose Walnut.

Wondering what those of you who already have them are finding works best with cable hook up--bi-wire or jumpers, or maybe even the supplied jumper plates??

I'm considering Paul Speltz's Anti-Cable speaker cables to start due to very good reviews in The Absolute Sound and no-brainer low price. Maybe the Level 3 Series Cables and Jumpers or Level 2 Series Bi-Wired cables will get the nod....comments?

Use good cables and jumpers or supplied jumper plates.

Bi-wiring really doesn't give you anything.

I am happy with the supplied jumper plate. The Eclipse 7's are really very good.

You should ask your dealer, they should be very familar with your speakers.

John.......Oh yeah, ask the dealer. It'll be bi-wire all the way. He just happens to have some in the back. Knowing the speakers won't have anything to do with it.

Congrats on the new 7T's...I'm jealous!

I have a pair of Paul Speltz's Anti Cables and if you haven't purchased them yet then save your money. The idea is a good one but the execution is terrible. Try forming and bending stiff copper wire and you'll get my drift. They are the toughest cables to manage I have ever purchased!

I have been using my 7Ts since May 2012 with the supplied jumper plates. They appear pretty substantial. Even if I bought upgraded jumpers I would leave the plates on.

Anyway, these speakers are fantastic. I have done a few equipment, cable, and power upgrades over the last year, and with each upgrade these speakers make each improvement in sound very obvious.

I talked to the AA dealer today (while I was auditioning the 7T's) and noticed he had them bi-wired. He explained he uses a bi-wire arrangement to provide a larger copper conductor to the woofer section that the tweeter doesn't need. So the upper bi-wire is a different gauge.

By the way...the 7T's are fantastic!
