Corner loading/left louder ?

PS - Any way you can put a bi-folding decorative panel(s) behind and to the side of the left speaker?  If it is room asymmetry, maybe that would help.  Something lightweight you could move out of the way when not listening to music.

I sympathize.  For whatever reason channel imbalance makes me crazy.  I don't know why it can bug me so much.  If you have a balance contral, by all means use it.  BUT first if it were me, I'd be reversing speaker cables at the amp to see if the louder speaker remains on the right.  That should eliminate a component problem as the cause.  For me, knowing it was not gear would make me a lot less anxious.  The room is what the room is.  If you have a mono recording, maybe use that and the balance control to get things centered.  This is NOT to dismiss other suggestions about positioning speakers differently if that can be done.  Experiment with the foam port plugs too.  Seems like using them on the right would be the way to go (intuitively) but upper or lower? can't say.  You would have to experiment.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.
