During a recent Audyssey XT32 calibration, I noticed that even with MultiEQ-X and the ACM1-X calibrated mic, I was hearing odd prominence of center-vocals about ~30 degrees to the right of where they should be during the stereo mode on my Denon X3700H. A quick look at the distances resulted in a 0.2FT difference between the left and right channels in the AVR. After adjusting the numbers to match, I regained perfect center image. While this is primarily a home theater where this wouldn't be an issue, it's also my main music listening system.
I believe this is a substantial issue if you ever use your AVR for stereo music listening like I do. I recommend that if you have an AVR with a calibration mic, you verify the center image with a mono track playing on your front speakers. It's something that I believe that denon&audyssey should be catching as many people use their products for serious stereo listening.
If you have an AVR that perfectly handles this issue, let me know what model. I'm curious.
