Hello, My amplifier/dac combo does not have any balance controls. Something on the squeezelite thread got me to thinking and I got my SPL meter out and measured the db, with pink noise, coming out of my left vs. right speakers at my listening position. There is a 2-3 db difference with the right being a bit less than the left. I realize that this is probably just on the edge of audibility. Currently, and measured with a laser measuring device, the speakers are almost precisely equidistant from my listening position. I suspect the cause is likely due to room and furniture layout----something that leaves me very little room to adjust the speaker placement. Also, in their current position--to my ears---voices, etc.. that are supposed to be centered do seem to be.
I suspect the easy solution is to simply move the right speaker a bit closer. However, my anal-retentive side is interested in precision and am wondering if, somewhere (can't find anything using a google search) there is a conversion table that would tell me how many inches closer the right speaker needs to be to my listening spot in order to increase its SPL by either 2 or 3 db. Any physics or audio acoustics folks know of this??
