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.

I have the basic Helix speaker wire and just let them loop around but never onto themselves, nothing overlapping and they work just fine. I also found that due to their construction, they don't dangle and touch the carpeting and if they come close to doing that, it's really easy to guide them off the floor.

How they look and lay is inconsequential to me. You'll get used to it.

All the best,
