I am wondering if anyone can guess what is causing my center image to shift to the left. This has been plaguing me for quite some time and I've ignored it (mostly out of laziness) because when I play LPs the image is well centered (which is only because my azimuth is a little off - conveniently in the right direction).
I use laser measurements to ensure that the distance to both speakers is the same. The interesting thing is this: if I pull the speakers out a few inches (i.e. closer to the listening position) the image centers. So it's some sort of room interaction that is causing the left channel to be louder than the right. Unfortunately the speakers perform better where I have them now so pulling them forward is not my desired solution.
I have added a bunch of absorption panels on all walls that appear like they might be coming into play without solving the issue.
My room is not typical (you can see photos and a diagram here).
All guesses count. Thanks for playing.
