Hi John,
I did the same thing that Islandear did with his Rev speaker cables. If you just work out the shape you need in mind and prebend the cables to that shape before inserting them and securing them to the binding posts (you may have to do some adjustment to the bends after inserting them into the system before securing them to the binding posts), they should be fine and not place any stress on the binding posts.
I actually found their stiffness to be an advantage in a number of ways.
They seem to give me almost as much transparency plus clear, sweet top end, and top to bottom tonal balance as the Purist Aqueous Anniversary and at the same time almost as much base slam as the Transparent and better imaging within the soundstage than either the PAD AA or the Transparent. I have not tried nearly all the top contenders, but the VD Revelations are definitely the best cables I've had in the system.
Best,
Ed
