Driving me crazy


Wow where do I begin.
About seven years ago I drove the volume up on my amps to high on accident and popped the bass drivers on my dynaudio c-4 speakers. Sent them in to dyn and had them fixed. Seven years later and two different systems, acoustic treatments, new speakers, cables, cd player, moved the system four different places in the room and the left side always has more bass and sounds crystal clear. Now here is the cool part, if I switch the speaker cables on one end of the amp or pre out at the preamp the right side gets better.
Sometimes I move things around and it plays good for a day or two then goes right back to it. When I am sitting in front of the speakers and change the balance on the pre-amp I can clearly hear the difference.
The only thing I have left is something in the AC power, and I did have it checked.
I could go on and on about all the things I have tried in seven years, but it would take me a month to explain it all and I figured no one would believe this story anyway. Next up is a priest.
I can tell you a little is my room and I know that, my hearing is fine but I am ready to get a baseball bat and put an end to my misery. If anyone has a good suggestion I'm all ears.
System
Speakers  Dynaudio C-4   Tyler acoustics DX1    Aperion t-5
CD players   Simaudio  Andromeda  - supernova and a harmon kardon
Amps  Simaudio W-10 monos  Adcom GF5500  
pre-amps  Simaudio p-8   Simaudio P-5  and even tried a Dspeaker dual core
Cables   MIT oracles  went to Transparent ref  to assorted interconnects and anticables speaker cables
If I spend any more money on this system my wife may divorce me.
Thanks in advance.

Have someone switch it without telling you what or when. Another psycho acoustic effect can be lighting. Speakers that don't have the same amount of light hitting them may alter your perception of how they sound.

I have had three or four system in this room before this one and never noticed anything till the day i popped my speakers seven years ago, now i am hearing everything, and it might be me. "

Can anyone else here this problem besides you? At this point, I think that would be the most valuable piece of info to have.

I'm sure you've already done this, but if not, you may want to have your ears cleaned. If you do some searching, you'll see quite a few audiophiles report significant improvements after a cleaning.
