Balance issues?

Hey all. I'm having this issue when I adjust the balance control on my Cambridge Audio Azur 740a all the way to either the left or the right, I am still getting signal out of both channels. I have checked my wiring a thousand times. 
When I hook up a different pair of speakers, same issue. When I reverse the wiring, same issue.
When I switch to my other older amp, balance works as it should. 
Is it possible there is a problem with the azur 740a?
When balance is at zero it sounds ok, maybe even in the middle. But I can't help but think it sounds under performed. I should mention I bought this amp used.
Thanks

You should be able to set your balance control so that the central image, usually the vocal, is right in the middle of your soundstage.  If you can't do that there is a problem with your balance control. 

You don't say how loudly the L or R channel plays when you have the balance control set all the way to the other channel.  If  it's more than minimal volume, that would indicate a problem with the balance control also.
