Center image on left side and don't know why

Just experiment with moving 1 single speaker foward or back to get it to lock in, that will likely fix the symptoms and may even be the cause....

Socrates you are on the mark. I moved the right speaker about 9 inches forward and the center image locked in. It must be the ear. Maybe the ear drops with perform magic but it looks like I'm stuck with a bad ear at 38.(<:

Now is when I wish I had an amp with a balance control. It kinda bothers me that one speaker is ahead of the other, you know.(<:

Thanks to all for your advise.

Hello Pete-I agree with Socrates' solution. I have always found this to work the best. My room is not exactly symetrical and by moving my right speaker an inch and a half forward the phasing locks in. However, I do not find that using a balance control has the same effect on the soundstaging. Yes, the volume on each channel can be set identical, but the timing of one channel in relationship to the other is not in sync and all those little cues that define a clear and realistic soundstage are missing.

Curious to know what a Radio Shack SPL meter set up one foot from each speaker with a test signal (e.g., Stereophile Test CD bass, mid and treble decades) would read.

Pete,
I know exactly what you're going thru, I've experinced it with my system and room. I also had to put forward one of my speakers. It turned out to be my DAC/preamp. I sent it to factory and they took care of it. I was going crazy.
