Wilson Audio Sasha sound imbalance

Hi All,

There is this minor imbalance that is driving me crazy.
I swapped the puppies between left and right and found the imaging to shift possibly confirming the imbalance resides in the speakers rather than the equipment.

I ordered the resistor sets, wanted your opinion whether replacing resistors might be able to fix it.
The centre vocal image currently on slightly in the right.
Interestingly the centre image for the instruments is dead centre it only seems to impact vocals.

Wilsons won’t come out of the factory mismatched, I promise you that. If the resistors don’t get it done, call Wilson and see what they recommend. Also, make sure your binding posts are tight!

Have you called Wilson? It’s not hard? They will help you. If you swapped the speakers and your issue moved with the speakers, one of them has an issue. A driver on its way out, a connection problem somewhere, or perhaps an issue with a crossover. If you haven’t tried to change out the resistors, try that. The experiment you tried with a mid vs tweeter and centering the image won’t work. The easiest way to test a tweeter is simply cover it with your hand standing in front of the speaker then uncover it. You will notice the difference, it will be night and day. That doesn’t mean the signal getting to the tweeter is correct though, or that the tweeter is 100%. Same goes for the mids.

Have you done anything with your source? In the troubleshooting you need to check cables, and any other connection, the problem may have nothing to do with the speakers.
