Certainly a matter of room acoustics. Keep experimenting w/ speaker placement.

+1 for GIK acoustics, great products with good pricing. Also take a look at ASC's website for guidance on various trapping formulas for various room configurations.  Proper trapping and diffusion will be one method of correcting your inbalance. 

arcticdeth,

I have the same phenomenon due to speaker placement, and it bothered me. Take gdnrbob’s advice and do what I do; simply adjust the balance. Fortunately, my tube preamp allows me to adjust the volume for each channel plus a L+R main volume control. Either that or move your system to a room with less placement restrictions (obviously).

Try toeing the right speaker outward a bit, and following listening to this experiment toeing the left speaker inward a bit (if needed) to further achieve L/R balance.

I’m talking tiny adjustments of the right speaker (like 1/2 inch to start) and then even more minute adjustments to the left speaker.

It may take many tries to achieve a decent channel balance (it’s a balancing act ruled by the room and it’s furnishings). 

I have an “L” or a “U” shaped listening room (take your pick, but I consider it a lopsided “U”) and have been able to balance various speakers over the years using this approach.

My speakers are approx. 10-13 feet from the seated listening position, with the right speaker being distanced the furthest
