After installing the new interconnects the other day, I ran YPAO to make the initial adjustments to distance and level, which was surprisingly almost dead on, just a few minor tweaks to distance and levels, as well as it sometimes wants to set some of the speakers to large with no crossover.
Question is, when I got the new tv back in December, I had to shift tv/rack etc slightly to the left of where it was. Before, my Sheldon spot on the couch would sit directly in line with the center speaker and the center of the tv, and the front speakers being equal distances to my ears. Since the shift, I now sit just to the right of the sweet spot, and YPAO adjusted according, by shortening the distance slightly to the right speaker and extending it to the left. This does skew the soundstage slightly and I can hear the distance difference when listening to 2 channel.
I've set it back so the distances both match, and it does seem to center the soundstage, even though I'm slightly off the sweet spot. What do you guys do in this situation? Technically, YPAO is correct, but it's what you hear that matters. I remember Dennie, remember him?, used to say that when setting your equipment, you should season to taste, and he isn't wrong.
