Soundstage and voices lean to the left side????

It can happen that orchestral classical music seems to come from left channel, because the violin sections, which often carry the melody, are positioned left, and are relatively higher pitched, hence more directional. The effect is exagerated in recordings because stereo effect itself is exagerated realtive to the concert hall, when sound mixes before reaching your ears -- one reason "soundstage" is largely an "audiophile" rather than a "musical" parameter, nice though it is.

So if you are listening to lots of orchestral music, this might be part of it. I sometimes get the same effect, and then put on some blues, chamber, rock, piano, or jazz, and am reassured there's nothing wrong with my setup.

Check your cabling. Make sure everything is hooked up right. + to + & - to -.

If it continues,upon following all of the excellent suggestions above, try moving you right speaker more forward. Even 5 inches straight forward might move the soundstage more to the right, thus centering the image (listen to mono or vocal recordings or KOB from Miles get them centered). Speaker placement is your issue (if it happens with other sources as well as analog)

It seems to just be some recordings. Others sound just fine. So I assume it is the recording. I do not have a balance knob on my setup, so I guess I will just have to live with it.

Thanks for all the thoughts!

I have also noticed that it is the recording. I have many CDs too that favor the left channel.
