New speaker cables - now audio seems panned right and left

I went from a set of Transparent audio "the wave" to a new set of no-name ribbon cables that are silver over OFC. They cleared a bit of the harshness out of my Vandersteen 2ce's but It seems that the audio now is panned hard right and left. My sound stage is gone... Thoughts? should I give them a break in time or send them back?

Now that's what you call a non sequitur...

The test that you did proved that. I have made the same mistake many times over the years.

Cables can affect speaker placement, but also, make sure that they're not wired out of phase which can cause that problem too.
