Hi,
I've just come across this forum on my return to having something approaching decent hifi and have hit a problem that I'm hoping the assembled minds here might be able to help me identify.
I recently bought a pair of kef x300a active speakers that are hooked up via usb to a Mac mini. The stereo image seemed shifted to the right speaker, so I just installed REW following the tutorial here and recorded three frequency sweeps at my listening position (black) and (carefully measure) 10cm away from each speaker in turn (red right and green left). I used a tiny Samson go usb mic I have for lecture recording. The graph below shows my results.
Never having made these measurements before I was after a sanity check - there's something wrong with the left speaker, yes? I've only just got these - new open box, but with a 5 year warranty, so I'm not expecting any issues with getting them fixed or replaced if necessary, but I just wanted to check I wasn't missing anything. I have checked that balance on the Mac and on the back of the speakers were both set to the centre.
Thanks for any help,
Andy
