I came across this (IMO) very useful audio test video on YouTube. Now I have a challenge to all those who obsess with stereo imaging: play the part at 0:31 called Phantom Center Stability. You can try it with a good set of headphones and then on your room stereo. Your headphones should pass the test with flying colours, but the test really reveals whether you have a table stereo image throughout the audio band. Essentially, you should observe a stable central image as the sound sweeps from the bass region through to the top frequencies.

Report here what you observe on your home stereo. I'll do the same.
