Voice and instrument image bunched in the middle??

Once you have tried all the above suggestions to no avail, take into account the effect your room has on sound. Room treatments such as absorption and /or diffusion may help.

Using center panels on the wall behind your system often can improve focus and image. Absorption in corners behind speakers may tighten bass. Panels at first reflection points and rear wall will absorb standing waves.
But first you need a good reference recording.

If all of your connections are proper, try the Sumiko Master Set Method of speaker placement. Works with any system and in any room.

There are so many things wrong with everything it almost defies description. I refer you to my new article, "What's Wrong with CDs and Why do they Sound So Horrible?"

Then too, is this CD or LP.
If LP, cartridge set-up could be the issue.

Having no idea what your system consists of I would say that it could be your system.
