Speaker Terminal Jumper Bars (Figure 2)

The Imagine towers also include speaker terminal jumper bars. This will provide listeners with bi-wiring capabilities, as well as bi-amping. Though the audible differences of these features may be subtle, the benefits include; transients being less likely to cause clipping and/or speaker damage, reduced distortion, and the elimination of errors at low frequencies, while also providing better matching between the power amplifiers and speaker.
