Strange Audyssey reading on center speaker

Was setting auto Audyssey, center speaker sounded so loud
when I looked at db levels the center speaker showed +8db all other speakers were fine (-8 ect..),
Wonder why this happened I measured it twice to make sure and both times it read the same thing. Right now my l/r fronts are b&w 602's and center b&w htm2, receiver is Marantz 5004 but not for long, replacing it with a Rotel 1560 and b&w N805 for l/r. I used my sound level meter and adjusted the set up.
Would anyone have an idea as to why this might've happened?
TIA

Probably related to the location of the center channel speaker in the room. You may need to move it left/right/up/down....or all of these?

A lot of center channel speakers are located at the half way point.......not a good place.

Sogood51,
It sits on a shelf above the TV and the front R/L are lower than the center but on the same plane.
I'll try moving it as you say,
Thank you much

Just as a test, place it on something around 24"-26" high in front of the TV and run Audyssey.

I've had a few problems with my center channel measurements a few times also.
