Richard Cesari, who founded Esprit, thinks of a hi-fi system as a chain, and a speaker jumpers is one of its links. A beautiful source and a fine amplifier can still lose the essential, he says, if the signal is harmed on its way through a speaker jumpers.
The Esprit Eterna Speaker Jumpers is a pair of bi-wire jumpers from Esprit's Eterna range. Esprit hand-builds the Eterna speaker jumpers in Confolens, Charente.
A reference since 1999
The Eterna name has been an Esprit reference since 1999, and the Eterna speaker jumpers belongs to its tenth generation. Esprit calls this generation a turning point in its range, and the Eterna speaker jumpers is part of the step it describes. Esprit describes Eterna links as built on reinforced conductor density and optimized dielectrics, often with air insulation and more evolved shielding, the brief behind the Eterna speaker jumpers.
Made in Confolens
Esprit's team designs and assembles the Eterna speaker jumpers by hand in its workshop in Confolens, Charente. Richard Cesari insists that assembly counts as much as materials, so each Eterna speaker jumpers is checked at every stage of the work. The first complete check of the Eterna speaker jumpers is made by the person who built it, and nothing moves on until it has been validated.
What you hear
Esprit hears a clear gain in silence, image depth and precision at the Eterna level, and it describes the Eterna speaker jumpers as more open, more nuanced and more immersive.
A set of Eterna speaker jumpers links the two pairs of terminals on a bi-wire loudspeaker, so it can be driven by a single pair of speaker cables. The connectors of the Eterna speaker jumpers carry silver plating on pure copper, the material Esprit uses for its speaker connectors. Keeping the Eterna speaker jumpers in the same range as the speaker cables keeps one voice from amplifier to driver. For Esprit, a cable such as the Eterna speaker jumpers should simply let the system express what it can do.
