Question about sound stage

In every recording, the soundstage sounds skewed to the right in my room.  I can hear musical instruments to the left, but the singer is ALWAYS on the right.  Is that normal or is there something likely going on with my speaker placement or room setup?  FYI, I am audio newbie.  My setup is as follows: Franco Serblin Accordo Essence speakers; Luxman 590axii integrated amp; Antipodes K40 music server; Weiss DAC 502.  Silversmith ribbon cables.  

My audio environment is less than ideal to say the least.  My speakers face my rather large office desk and only one speaker is optimally spaced from the wall.  There is no other way to arrange my office, so it is what it is.  I can always include a picture of those who are curious or think it would be helpful.  Also, I haven't gotten around to learning how to use the Weiss's DSP room correction function yet, so perhaps that would help.

Thanks.

I like your system. Must sound very good. I have the Silversmith ribbons too. Excellent! 
And I have the exact same problem. Also on the right.

Now that I think of it relative to your right leaning issue, I think I have the answer.

About 20-30% of my LPs the soundstage leans to the right and also seems to be right focused on everything. My left speaker is in a corner and the right speaker is open to the room. I too have no choice in my room.

All I can say is that I have learned to live with it. I have tried to turn down the gain on the right but that was problematic. Believe you have a balance control. Try it but you may have the same problems with the imbalance of volume,
