Seems right hand side is louder, need helps

Dear Audiophiles,
Need helps from U guys! I have this problem comes on n off for about 1.5 year. I owned the spk Avalon Eidolon. My problem is everytime whenever I turned off the power, I need at least 2 or more days to recover the centre of the vocal, which I use the XLO Test CD, which can tells u left ,right,n centre, phase.
However just about 3weeks ago, I found the right hand side tends to give louded volume, this thing never change ,even I never turn off the power atall, also I cannot get the voice from the centre. This really boarded me alots. Where I test the power amp output curent, bothside have the same voltage, where one of the track in the CD has for both side equally.( Mono ).
This Maybe due to the placement of the SPK as I thought, however I tried many times, it just can't work out. I really hopes someone may helps out there at Audiogon. My problem is: The vocal keeps going to the right about 1foot from the centre.N I can feel the right hand side sounds louded, but when I went close to the spks abt few inches, it seems to me both side the same.It is really headache toi me. Will be very appreciate if someone would share the experience.Thanks! N Happy listening to u guys! ****** Cheers! ******

Hifi,

I agree wholeheartedly with the above suggestions, especially Sean's when he recommends unplugging and replugging all of the component connections.

Here is my two cents worth from a slightly different angle. Variations in the recording process will often cause the problems you are experiencing. A possible solution is to move your speakers slightly closer together, or your listening position back. The sweet spot will widen somewhat and allow the listener to shift around in the seated positon (as we all do) without shifting the stage.

Whenever I do serious listening in my room I must close the entry door as well as the sliding door to my patio. The veritcal blinds must be positioned slightly opened toward the speakers making them a trap rather than a pure reflective surface.

The purpose of describing what I must do to enjoy serious listening is to make you ask what, if anything, you are doing differently when this phenomenon occurs.

Hope things get sorted out and...

Happy listening,
Patrick
