Ckoffend, Thanks for an account of your experiences and some suggestions. My speakers are toed in a bit, and I'm disinclined to move them. Their large spikes have penetrated the Chinese rug that they are on. My wife has either not noticed or has chosen not to say anything, and I don't want to call attention to the situation. (I've talked to a local rug dealer, and he claims he can repair the damage, but I'll wait.) Anyway, I sit about 18 feet from the speakers, and while my wife is willing to rearrange the furniture, we haven't been able to figure out how. So I'm thinking of electronic fixes. Another possibility might be a wooden screen that I could put in place alongside the left speaker for serious listening. I'll experiment, though a balance control might prove to be the most elegant solution.
