centering the human voice


i cannot center the human voice coming out from my jmlab
electra 926 ??
they are placed in an irregular room with openings
i do not know how to place speakers!!!!
they are 5 foot from the front wall and about 6 foot apart
they were ok but the soundstage seems to shift to the left
despite i try different placements by trial and error

Hummm, maybe we should start at the beginning. Are your speakers wired correctly in-phase? Be sure BOTH speakers are wired + to + and - to - or red to red, black to black. If they are out of phase you will never get a consistent center image.

If they are properly in phase, swap the speak wires at the amp end, left speaker to right output and vice versa. If the image stays offset to the same side as before, the problem is likely room acoustics or the speaker. If the image moves toward the other side, the problem is somewhere in the electronics or wiring of the system. Or, it could be a recording that simply places the vocals off center as suggested above.

Can't hurt to verify these simple, but often missed, steps......

Enjoy,
