Mojo, for a guy who is so into the sound stage and imaging I just don’t get that answer. I find it disconcerting when someone on the left side of the screen is talking and the voice is not coming from the same location but more than a screen widths left of it.

Have you ever experienced what you describe or are you just seeing it in your mind's eye?
As I explained in another post, when something happens off-screen, the visual is off-screen too. So there's no discord taking place in the brain. If something is happening on the left of the screen, the audio is typically imaged in the center.
I say "typically" because I find with the actives, the image could be just left or right of centre depending on how it was microphoned and mixed. If I play that same scene with my 160, that same sound collapses to the center.
Try it yourself and see if you experience a brain schism.

Yes, I’ve experienced it. I when setting up the ALFRs on the long wall I needed a TV for the AV8805. Since I just needed it to see the settings I used an old 27” monitor. Well a 12 foot wide sound stage for a 27” screen doesn’t work! I kept being pulled out of viewing the movie because it was so odd. It was not much better on the short wall with the speakers 10’ apart. I finally put up our old 50” TV which was almost tolerable compared to the 27”. I could at least view a movie but it was not great. Your setup is worse (12’/55” v.s 10’/50”) which is why I’m surprised,

I don't have an explanation other than two different brains.
