Esprit gives every speaker jumpers one plain task: carry the signal from one point to another and take as little from it as possible. A speaker jumpers cannot add information to what your components extract, the company notes, but a careless design can take some away.
The Esprit Lumina Speaker Jumpers is a pair of bi-wire jumpers from Esprit's Lumina range. Each Lumina speaker jumpers is made by hand in Confolens, in France's Charente region.
Heritage
Esprit describes Lumina as an uncompromising range, designed to reach a higher level of realism and musical coherence, and the Lumina speaker jumpers shares that brief. In the company's words, every Lumina link benefits from an advanced design, and the Lumina speaker jumpers is one of those links. Richard Cesari has been making cables since 1996, and the Lumina speaker jumpers carries three decades of that work. Esprit validates every new cable by ear before releasing it, and the Lumina speaker jumpers went through that process.
Made by hand in Confolens
Every Lumina speaker jumpers is assembled entirely by hand in Esprit's workshop in Confolens, in the Charente region of France. The work starts from bare copper strand, and the insulators and protective layers of the Lumina speaker jumpers are applied by hand. The person who assembled the Lumina speaker jumpers checks it completely, and a second full inspection follows at final packing.
How it sounds
Esprit describes the sound of the Lumina speaker jumpers as more fluid, dynamic and balanced, with a more stable stage, remarkable articulation and a transparency that reveals the slightest nuance.
A set of Lumina 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. Esprit builds the Lumina speaker jumpers from pure copper strands plus a solid pure copper conductor. The connectors of the Lumina speaker jumpers carry silver plating on pure copper, the material Esprit uses for its speaker connectors. Keeping the Lumina speaker jumpers in the same range as the speaker cables keeps one voice from amplifier to driver.

The Lumina speaker jumpers is level 6 of Esprit's nine, above Aura and below Eureka. Choose the Lumina speaker jumpers if your loudspeakers have bi-wire terminals and you are running a single pair of Lumina speaker cables.
