Default Magnaplanar MG 3.3 Imaging Problems.

Does anyone out there know how to get these damn things to image solidly
at anything other than Dead Centre. It is like sitting between a bubble
spirit level, any slight move to either side and the image skews to that
side..especially on male vocal center stage. I have had various cone
speakers of good merit, Celestion, Kef, Meridian and Spendor to name but
a few and they just don't do this. The actual tonal balance and sound
quality of the Maggies is sublime....the ability to cast a solid image
anywhere other that absolute dead center is , frankly, appalling. I have
tried them everywhere around the lounge, all to no avail. Is this a
characteristic of these speakers?, and yes I did listen before buying
.....in the hi-fi shop ....where I was, surprise..surprise ...sat dead
centre...has anyone out there got a pair of these and can listen off
center without the singer immediatly throwing him/ her self into the
speaker which they have inched to? and yes they are all in phase and all
the fuses are good and all the ribbon units are working, I checked about
a hundred times already. I have tried toe in, toe out, moving away and
closer from me , closer together and further apart...Tweeter ribbons
inside and outside. Failing getting them to image, an alternative
suggestion maybe ? which sounds like the Maggies and can at least
attempt to image?
Thanks Guys n Gals
