Every audiophile should have a 1 minute phasing/polarity test track/CD that alternates the left and right channels between in-phase and out-of-phase.  Pink noise can work well for this, but a variety of different test signals will identify this issue immediately.

Glad to hear capacitor forming wasn't the issue.  :)

Glorious sound again!!

Thanks Steve, that wasn't it exactly but really it was.  One side was chris crossed at the amp end.  Since the deHavilland left, I've had the cables back to normal at the speaker end + to + and - to -

But my amp was out of the rack for about a month while a friend, who bought the 1.7s, was using it.  Putting it back got one channel connected wrong + to -

I'm old and it's dark back there  :)

Not only is the center image back, it seems louder.

Current distances are 4' 6" to the wall behind the speakers, 5' 3" between the tweeters, 9' 7" from my ears to the tweeters, and toe in so the tweeters are aimed at my ears.  It sounds really good but I'll probably experiment with position.

I use a stupid looking headlamp that lights up wherever I'm looking, look Ma- No hands.
