Synergistic Research Tesla x4 speaker cable

Anyone have experience with these? I am auditioning them along with a few others right now and they sound so odd that I am concerned that the pair i was sent might be defective.
They sound like I have on headphones. no real central image. I am aware of sound from each side but no image in the middle.
thanks in advance for any insight!

I will give it a try. I have red to red and black to black on both the amp end and the speaker end. If I understand yall correctly, i would swap at the speaker end and got red to black and black to red.
Can I damage anything doing this?

I did try playing with the phase button on my jrdg pre but it didnt fix the problem.

Jimmy, no damage possible. . . but you must change only on one wire, and only at speaker end. Phase switch on preamp or on source is an 'absolute' phase. . . it generally makes little or no difference. G.

You could use an ohmmeter to check the cables. Disconnect the cables from the amp and speakers and connect the ohmmeter between the red amp end and the red speaker end.You should get a reading on the ohmmeter. If not the cable is mismarked.
