I have a pair of ML Source that I am driving with a Jadis Orchestra Reference tube amplifier (55 watts into 8 ohms) connected to a Linn CDP. I am unable to get a holographic sound stage with the image centered although I have all the room treatments in place in a dedicated room and my MLs are plenty away from all walls and associated boundaries. Can anyone suggest what may be wrong please.

Use a mono pink or white noise to check your center image. Can we assume you have followed the directions in the owner's manual, esp for tilt and toe in?
Is the shape of your room, speaker position, and listening position >perfectly symmetrical< left-to-right? Pics?

Thank-you for the replies. Yes I did the flashlight set-up but not any pink or white noise bit. But I will do that as well. Does my chair have to be placed exactly dead center to enjoy the image because I had hoped to accommodate 2 chairs in the listening position which then throws the image off-center.
I think you may well have found your issue with the holographic image. Try a single chair in the middle and see if that is what you are missing. If it is you have to make your seating choice from there.
If you only listen with a second person try one chair of a different height in front or behind your sweet spot (not ideal) or just take turns.
You just can't be afraid to tell some one it's time to move their butt if they are hogging the main seat after a reasonable amount of listening.

Apologies for the belated response.
Sadly there is no such thing as a symmetrical listening room. Chances are the walls are not flat/parallel/regular/continuous enough. Then the furniture and listeners presence act to change symmetry further.
You could try the "exhibition seating pattern" i.e. one listener BEHIND the other, stacked. That way everyone gets a centre position and the other listeners make minimal difference to the listening experience?
