Center image on left side and don't know why

Hi,

What should be the center image in my soundstage is on the left side. I've tried everything, swapped amps, speakers, cables, changed locations from long wall to short wall, and even had my ears cleaned, nothing works. It's really frustrating. Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Pete

IS your room symetrical? or more importantly are your speakers set up in a location where say there is a wall on one side and the other speaker has open space next to it. Speaker placement is probably the problem or perhaps a tube is fading. cables are not to blame here

Are both speakers exactly the same distance from you?

I had this issue recently, it turned out the midrange driver on one side was not working properly. It was a simple internal cable issue, but it made me nuts until I found it.

I agree with Twl, in first order I would look at electronic problems in one channel of your preamp or source output.
(Have you swapped cables all the way back to the source?

The most important thing is to narrow down where the problem is coming from (obviously). Try switching left and right speakers. Does the soundstage then move to the right? Then try swapping left and right connections on your preamp. Etc.
