Speaker phase and timing

I have a Roger Waters CD that is recorded in Q-Sound. When played, a dog bark is supposed to sound "like it is in the neighbor's yard." However, on my system, it is pegged just left of center between my speakers.

Apparently, my speaker phase and/or timing is wrong. I have tried moving/angling the speakers to little effect. The best I got was sitting three feet from the speakers and the dog bark then came straight from the right speaker. I have fairly decent equipment (Wilson/Krell/Nordost), so perhaps the room is the problem?

Can anyone coach me on how to adjust for proper speaker phase and timing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Speaker, listener, and furniture placement have more to do with imaging than your equipment.

Spousal friendly placements with the speakers or your chair just a foot or two off the wall behind them will not be good. A television between the speakers is not good.
