hi david, if i understand ewe correctly, reversing the interconnects leaves the same imaging problema at the left speaker, & the right speaker is still ok, even tho the channels have been reversed? i guess it *is* possible that the asymmetric location of your window alcove could be doing this, but w/proper room treatment, i'd be surprized that it's such a noticeable problem. are your speakers mirror-imaged, or can you switch 'em? assuming ewe are *sure* you've addressed *all* the proper-phase issues, and wall-treatment issues (try a sound-panel in front of the left-side opening of the alcove to mimic the right-side wall?), i'd try switching the speakers themselves... good luck, doug
Severe Imaging Problem
Since getting my Aleph-3 I have lateral imaging for the first time.My problem is my room.It is the only practical way I can have speaker set up.The speakers are the same distance from side walls.The left front wall is only 2 feet long then opens to a 5.5 foot wide X 3 foot deep,floor to ceiling window alcove.The right front wall is 6.5 foot long then opens to the alcove.The alcove has windows which are treated with heavy curtains.The alcove also houses myequipment.Obviously I have much more front wall in back of my right speaker.I have side wall treatment as well as front wall.The outside (lateral) imaging is excellent from the right speaker.I couldnt be happier! The left speaker there is little to no lateral imaging.I have reversed I.C.'s
