Room acoustics how ? My image is not centered

The sound of my system is not good. the image is tending a bit to the left and not centered, the sound is "hard" and there is no much stage.

I own Merlin MMe, VAC Avatar super, Electrocompaniet EMC1 CPD, cables: audience au24, cardas golden reference

as for the unbalanced, I tried all the combination's of switching cables sides and every time the sounds is bit stronger on the left. so I suspect my problem is with the room acoustics. the left wall is made of concrete bricks and the right wall is all glass-fronted (maybe this is the cause?) the ceiling is made of wood.
do you know how can I scientifically measure and check the sound in my room ? and scientifically found the places where I need to put some materials for better acoustics ?
any good info and/or reference for web site explaining on room acoustics ?

about my amplification (VAC AVATAR SUPER), I suspect (only syspect) its really not match the Merlins since the sound is bright and "hard". anyone have experience with it with the Merlins ? better suggestions for amp or pre& for the merlins ? (for used price ~5500$)

thanks

Another vote for "Get Better Sound" by Jim Smith. Easily found here and on the web, well worth the money.

Might want to cover the brick wall with a comforter or something...same with the glass.

Bring your speakers a few feet of the back wall as well. Make sure your listening spot is equidistant from both speakers. Might want to try a bit of toe in or out on the speakers as well.

Most of your gains, though, will be from taming the acoustics of the room. That's where Get Better Sound comes in.
