RE: Vocals inboard of left speaker most of the time. Explain this.

You want to move the image? Move the speakers. The problem you are experiencing probably as something to do with boundary reinforcement. In a perfect world, you would have a perfectly symmetrical room, with the same type of walls on each side and common back wall. Each speaker would be the same distance from the side and back wall...and you would sit in the middle. Moving one speaker in any direction will shift the image; changing the toe-in (angle from the back wall is < 90 deg) will have the same effect. An imperfect room will behave as if you had moved 1 speaker relative to the other in a perfect room.

In an imperfect room (and in a perfect room, for that matter), one simply adjusts the position of the speakers and toe-in until the image is where you want it.

To make speakers disappear, pull them well away from all walls, so there is very little reinforcement and work from there.

One last thing, if you have stand-mounted speakers (small 2-ways), and you put them on/in a bookshelf in a different position, you'll get the same effect.

Another last thing, if you have right and left volume controls, the problem can often be fixed by adjusting one speaker volume.
