Did you verify this independantly? I ask because I wonder if there could have been a problem in that setup (or specific amp), IE source problem or speaker out of phase or left/right input mixed up...I had the singer very center focused on the short audition I did. Perhaps the tracks I played were not a tough test for this, though. I have "the look of love", not that CD. Maybe I can grab a copy and stop over his place and do some more listining. I guess it is also possible (but I doubt it) that the specs have changed or cheaper parts used.
