Yes, it's a speed of sound issue, and the algebraic addition of sound waves that are arriving at your ears at different times. This may help you understand what is going on. http://audiosystemsgroup.com/AES-StereoASGWeb.pdf Study the parts about human perception of sound, time issues, and the directivity of human hearing. The best way to set up speakers for the K3 if you're listening two two channels (that is, diversity, or two RXs on two different frequencies) is with one speaker on your left so that your head blocks it to your right ear, and the other on your right so that your head blocks it to your left ear. This minimizes the destructive cancellations and maximizes your ability to discriminate which is which. Note also that the K3 plays some games with delay in DSP, which can also complicate things. Add to that that the two RXs are NOT precisely SYCNHRONIZED in diversity mode, which adds a beat of a Hz or so between the left and the right ears that is MADDENING!
