Why does this harmful to Magico: the burn in tone.

Still some issue to solve, like how to connect my single wire cable into biwire Q7.
What I can do now is to find the best jumpers out there to use.

If it were me, I would trade up my single wire cables for true biwire cables. The Q7's will be properly set up in the crossover for biwiring, so with true biwire cables you can a nice benefit. Not overstating the size of the benefit, but in high end those 1 percenters count

Magico even go as far as recommending using two set of single wire cables, rather than a single set of biwire cables.
Problem is I use Transparent cable, they do not recommend double run of their cables from single amplifier.
And they do not make biwire cable at top level of their range. They recommend me 1045$ OPUS jumpers, which made from raw cables that used in OPUS. With 8" each. That means the OPUS Carbon network boxes costs 27,000$ and 6000$ for cables in 8-feet pair.
With Q7 coming I will not afford any new cables for the moment.

Why not order Q7 in single wire config ? I have seen someone mentioning that possibility.

[TOGA]

Because they are the last pair available. New order will be much much more $$$$$.

And bi wire version has higher potential in the future. I could try bi amps in the future too.
But main reason is that they are last pair before new price.

OPUS speaker cables are amazing!!!

Yes, the Transparent jumpers are probably the best way to go at this point. I would consider banana to banana configuration on the jumpers and leave the OPUS spade terminations. This should yield very little loss.

You might try experimentation to connect the OPUS to either bass or high frequency posts to find your preference.

My speaker cables are not OPUS, but the one below that. They are Reference MM terminated with spades.
But Transparent recommended me OPUS Jumpers with locking bananas. I wanted to send them Furutech CF202
To terminate with jumpers, but their cable diameters are too large for Furutech s.

Normally I connect jumper in crossing way. Red to red of HF and black to black of LF. This way jumpers will have
Effect on both HF and LF terminals,
