Different Amplifiers Changing the Width of Soundstage


With one amp, I can stand directly in front of the left speaker and still hear the right speaker. 

With another amp I have, I can stand directly in front of the left speaker and it's like I can't hear the right speaker. 

Does anyone know why the different amps are behaving so differently to the same speakers?

Subtle changes in the distortion and the slewing of the transients and micro transients. Additionally, with one channel vs the other (as an extra potential aspect).

We hear via transient positive leading edge of signals only. the ear only hears approximately 10% of the signal.

The rest, the other 90% of the signal...the ear ignores, it does not process or 'acquire' it, by design.
