Position of speaker cables and irregular behavior
Personally I would start by just swaping the LHS speaker with th RHS speaker.  
Position of speaker cables and irregular behavior
holmz: I don’t understand what you mean by playing speaker singularly and using REW, can you explain?  I will try taming reflection one side at a time at the usual mirror spot side wall. Regarding rear wall reflection behind speaker, these are pl... 
Cat 5 - 6 -7 or 8
One would have expected a 9 to be in there.  
Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker?
  Room treatments do not add to coherency.  Room treatments subtract.  The speaker must produce a time or phase coherent sound field in order to produce that astonishing three dimensional soundstage.  The reflections- both airborne and the mecha... 
Position of speaker cables and irregular behavior
Ventriloquism from speakers is not likely due to the cables, magical lubricants, fairy dust, etc. I would be playing the speaker singularly and using REW. or Swapping left and right, or swapping speaker cables between left and right.   It could... 
Should I redo the AC power in my house?
The fact that MF said that his system hummed, sort of makes me wonder at how I would trust what is written. It sounded like his house wiring was "all jacked up" to begin with. and secondly he got that gear and work done largely for free I imagine... 
Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker?
...my statement refers to aiming for a perfectly flat measured speaker response as a sonic end point But the thread is about the time domain performance of a speaker. One cannot change that too much with DSP. The impulse response can be cleane...

@mijostyn ^that^ is all well put.  
Roon Skipping?
You were thinking maybe I was listening to the turntable by mistake? It seemed like a good place to stake a stab at some humour. 😎 ) (LIke the Roon sounds as good as the TT now. ;). ) I still need to start ripping to FLAC for my Roon set up, s... 
Darwin Cables still in business ?
...coincidentally about the same time we sobered up... If you have a XXL or XXXL I'd order one... PM me. There is always the music of professor Greg Graffin's band that one could test the cables with.  
Woofers for SB acustics Sartori sb29
Would the ScanSpeak 18wu work? I know that the Purifi work, as I heard their 6.5" under an SB and it was nice. But it had a pair of Purifi passive radiators on the back of the box. The bass was much higher SPL than I was expecting.  
Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker?
I learned this past year how much diffuser panels helped with imaging.  Diffusers on the back wall brought the imaging into much sharper focus.  The next step was putting my speakers on springs.  That not only improved the bass but also increased... 
Roon Skipping?
Does it have pops n clicks too? 😂  
Different Amplifiers Changing the Width of Soundstage
With one amp, I can stand directly in front of the left speaker and still hear the right speaker.  With another amp I have, I can stand directly in front of the left speaker and it's like I can't hear the right speaker.  Does anyone know why th... 
Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker?
For Thiel (and Vandersteen) time and phase coherency is their marketing hook but in both cases their designers combined a range of good practices to make their speakers sound great. He list I heard was: Dunlavy, Quad, Spika, Thiel, Vandersteen ...
