Thanks for everyone's responses. I'll uncoil them and try to straighten them out as best I can (taking into account everyone's suggestions). The only other issue that I have is trying to keep them connected to the speaker terminals. They simply don't want to stay clamped even when I shape the wire end in a "u-shape" to ensure compliance. Of course, the speaker terminal knobs are quite small which makes it difficult to get a firm grasp to tighten down. But, I do like the sound of these cables!
Mapleshade Double Helix Speaker Cables
I bought a pair of Mapleshade Double Helix Plus speaker cables recently. Installed them today. Just wondered if anyone else had some difficulty working with these cables. Don't get me wrong - the sound that emanates from them is simply incredible but the patience required to install them was more than I expected. My question - do other owners leave these cables coiled when installed or do you straighten them out and run uncoiled strands per speaker? I have this OCD thing about cables flying all over the place and wondered how other people solved this immediate installation issue. Again, the sound that emanates is incredible; I don't even have 10 hours of use on them yet. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
