cardas golden reference biwire

Just hooked up a pair of used but new wires mentioned above. I did not have my speakers biwired before. There is a significant change with these wires. The bass is just a little overpowering. Will this change with "break in"? or is this a result of the type of wire or the added benefit of the biwire? I am not sure I can live with this much base. However I love the extended mids and highs, trhe soundstage has also doubled incredibly.

Dave, I think the CJ WILL be different in the bass by a long shot! It should have more weight, athority, and whollop, along with more texture!
I have had to tweek the speaker placement after every upgrade, even small ones. It's a normal part of the set up process. Boom is usually a room/speaker placement issue for the most part and I would not attribute it to the wire yet.

Dave, I did not try moving them, at least that I remember; given my limited space, the boomy sound wasn't going away by the little I could move them.

Brian, when you changed speakers wires, that in itself solved your problem?

Dave, it is much cheaper to try to move the speakers around first than to buy more cables. Brian, had no place to go, I hope that isn't the case with your set up too.
