Be sure all the speaker cables are exactly the same length too - use a micrometer if you can. Also, be sure the ends that used to be hooked to the speakers before are still hooked to the speakers, and if your climate is different give them 48-72 hours to acclimatize themselves.

THE MICROMETERS IM USED TO CAN MEASURE WITHIN .0005 OF AN INCH OR CLOSER. HIS CABLES MUST BE DAMN EXACT.

Charlie's micrometer joke reminded me of a college professor (slightly crazy) who used to swear that he could reliably measure to within 1/64 of an inch with a scale divided into 1/4-inch or 1/8-inch increments. He tended to get cranky when we use "undergraduate" uncertainty analysis (we were undergrads) since it demonstrated how horribly inaccurate his lab experiments were.

This was also the guy who claimed that he could draw a perfect line or circle free-hand. For some reason he never demonstrated that skill for us...
