Something that bugs me is the ridiculous amount certain manufacturers charge for exotic jumper pins or cable.

I'm currently just using a short amount of thin guage PTFE multi-core copper to jumper the biwire terminals on my speakers, but was just thinking, why not just use a zero-ohm resistor instead?

Why bother with anything other than what you're currently using?

Was curious. If there's any technical reason why cable/clips/resistors should sound better for this purpose than another.

Shouldn't these be jumpered with the same qauge of conductor that you are using for speaker cable? I sure as hell wouldn't be using thin gauge cable for this.

I know on my VR-4s I use Kimber 8TC (which is the speaker cable i use) to jumper, but these need approx. 23" jumpers from the top and bottom cabinets. If not biwiring, it is recommended that the speaker cable run to the mid/tweeter module (top cabinet) and jumpered to the bass module. Thin gauge need not apply...

yes, please don't use a zero-ohm resistor. If the posts are close together, just buy some copper, drill 2 holes, and fit it to the posts.
