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!

Thanks folks. These are cable co auditions. Hopefully, they will not require that kind of breakin time b/c I cant keep them that long.

Tvad - Is there any way for me to check on the mis wiring?

Jimmy, I believe that if the wires are out of phase, you just need to flip the positive and negative leads for one wire only at the speaker end. . . . if that is the problem you will hear a very sizeable improvement. . . if it isn't, they will sound very much worse than they do now. G.

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.
