Soudstage issue

I have recently set up my new system in my new listening room. After three weeks of tweaking I am pretty satisfied with the sound I am getting. The soundstage is great and the images are stable and airy. I can definately see horns up right and the drums back right, etc. The only exception is some piano pieces. I would swear that the piano is on stage left AND stage right. Often, the lower octaves are on one side and the upper octaves are on the other. I have noticed this on cd (Thompson D'Earth) and lp (McCoy Tyner). Any suggestions?

My system (if it helps)
Coincident Super Eclipse
Manley Neo classics
Cary 303 (direct to amp)
Klyne pre
VPI Aries/Shelter 901
Coincident cables (except speaker, still awaiting shipment. Using 50 cent/foot wire until TRS shows up.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the feedback. I am fairly new to this great hobby and almost everything is dialing in except this one issue. When I listen to "Kind of Blue" the piano is 100% to stage right and sounds great. This definately points me to the individual recording. It's kind of annoying when you hear each instument placed perfectly and the piano blanketing the whole scene. Time to search out the best recorded LP's. Thanks for the help.
