sounstage too big bad thing

HI, guys, replaced my MIT spkrs cables this weekend
found a good deal on a pair of XLO signature5, fantastic cable,
very open with weight, and tons of detail, now my problem is,
that the soundstage is so big that is confusing,fills like I'm sitting in the middle of the performers and as I'm concentrating in the music I'felt dissy, same filling you get from flashing lights at the night club, disconnected cables, and whent back to the MIT, less detailed, but now fills I'm listening for a spectator prospective,
any body with similar experience?

Two things I would check; make sure the speakers are firing at the same point by using a digital level on the sides and back of the enclosures and on top of a board spenning the tops of the boxes to check that their height is exact. Next I would check the isolation of the Quicksilver amps ( they may need better isolation to extract as much clarity as possible) then I'd check the pre.
It is very possible the new cable has exposed something in your system and I would pursue this first before changing the cable.

Almost forgot, the cable may be showing that you need to reduce isolation or change the material.

I used different thickness shims 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 MDF to change heights so I didn't have to adjust spikes with each change, and for quick check I stand and change the height of my ears to find the height that seems best.
