Anti-cables 'reference' speaker cables


Just got the above referenced cables. (It's just a double run of the 'regular' cable).

Question: I've heard some say they need a lot of break-in and others say they don't; which is it?

Question 2: does the soundstage ever widen out? Layering front-to-back seems pretty good, but the width has definitely suffered.

Thanks for any input.

Please advise re how the anti-cables sounded with the Merlin speakers......thanks....I have the TSMs now....
I'm using the reference speaker cables bi-wired and the balanced Xshadow silver interconnects. ...just to let everyone know what I found in the break-in of these cables.....As they break in...they get grainy, fuzzy and crappy.... BE PATIENT> Actually, I found after break-in, they sounded the instant I installed them when they were new (for the first few minutes). They are now (again) very fast, detailed, fulsome in the low end, big soundstage...etc.,etc.
I found the same during break in; they go through times when they are grainy,
fuzzy and the like. It leaves eventually and then your ears are happier, but it seems like a long trip.
