Riddle me this!

Just throw some 'what it might be' ideas at me for this problem.

Scenario - One speaker plays louder than the other. Not a lot, couple of dB, but enough to really drive me nuts (not a far trip). So the soundstage sorta' leans to one side. Need to set the balance to about 2 o'clock if the lower sounding speaker is on the right to get the soundstage back to the middle.
- They're 3 way speakers with adjustments to set your preferences for mid & high range (watchamacallit - L-pads)
- Everything measures pretty much the same - as in one driver pretty much matches the ohms reading to it's opposite.

Changed the LF caps (40uF-50v) but not the HF caps (3.3uF-50v). Helped some but not a lot.
It's not the room - well it is a little bit but I know that and have compensated for this purpose.
It's not the amp/source. Changed those out to several different ones.

OK - bring it. Speculate. Throw some stuff at me.

Thanks.
