It's been a while since I've personally used any Vandersteen models. My audio friends caution that, because Vandersteen argue in favor of bi-wiring, they do not supply a jumper.
Moreover, with the screw terminals, a double bi-wire cable arrangement will more often than not make hookup easier (versus an internal bi-wire cable, where the leads will be difficult to route).
I have regular stereo pairs of AudioQuest CV-4, the CV-8's kid sister. If you use two CV-4s, to biwire, that's a sweet combo. IMO, the CV-4, once properly treated on a burn-in device, is a good all-rounder. OTOH, other audiophiles view that as simply being mediocre. Only you, with your system and tastes, can make that call.
Be aware that the CV-4's spades open at an angle, and may not fit properly, on screw terminals.
