CF, back on your 4. I'd assumed that you had balanced the speaker outputs by following the procedure in the 5200's manual and was just asking about the overall level. Certainly, do the balancing procedure regardless of where the individual level controls wind up.
On the sub location your 5200 sub out(which I assume that you're using) crosses to the sub at 100hz, which is a bit high and sometimes causes localization problems. Putting the sub in a corner and directly behind one of the M1s, if possible, would help with the illusion that the bass was coming from rhe M1. Another possible move is to violate the usual rule of leaving the sub crossover turned all the way up. Try setting it in the middle or a little higher to see if the additional rolloff of the sub that this causes will make it less localized. This might be the lesser of evils.
Yet another possibility is that you simply have the level control on the sub set too high and that's why it's calling attention to itself. Experiment.
