Strange Audyssey reading on center speaker

Was setting auto Audyssey, center speaker sounded so loud
when I looked at db levels the center speaker showed +8db all other speakers were fine (-8 ect..),
Wonder why this happened I measured it twice to make sure and both times it read the same thing. Right now my l/r fronts are b&w 602's and center b&w htm2, receiver is Marantz 5004 but not for long, replacing it with a Rotel 1560 and b&w N805 for l/r. I used my sound level meter and adjusted the set up.
Would anyone have an idea as to why this might've happened?
TIA

Sogood51,
It sits on a shelf above the TV and the front R/L are lower than the center but on the same plane.
I'll try moving it as you say,
Thank you much

Dave,
works fine at that height but I would have to get a higher TV stand in order to keep it there,
The truth is I like the sound much more with the Audyssey turned off.
contrary to how I feel, I understand that alot people like auto sound set up so I imagine that something is amiss with my set up wether its speaker placement or I'm sure when I'll get my new receiver and the N805 l/R it will make a huge difference, although the Rotel 1560 does'nt have auto sound I'm fine with that my level meter will do, cant wait.
Thanks again
Roger
