Did you try reversing your speaker cables? For almost a year my left channel was weaker than the right. I blamed the source, the processor, the interconnects, and the amp. Finally I bought an integrated amp and still the left channel was weak. That left me with the speaker cable doubting, so I reversed it. Its fine now. You might give it a try.
Balance control vs. Speaker placement
For whatever reason, my system always slightly favors the left, my guess would be the furniture on the left vs. nothing on the right. I have used several amps and speakers and the left is always slightly favored.
I have a test CD that exposes this in greater detail. On this CD they suggest that you either move a speaker forward or back to compensate instead of adjusting the balance control. Any thoughts as why this is prefered? It sure is easier to dial it in with the balance control.
