Default Magnitude of loudspeaker-room interaction

With my set up it turned out to be my ears :-(

Is a 2.7 dB left-right stereo imbalance reasonable for a loudspeaker-room
interaction in a nearly symmetrical room?

My last system needed no tweaking of the left-right balance control to
get a central image. However my current system needs a 2.7 dB shift in
the balance control. I have checked the source balance and swapped all
components (including leads) and the imbalance remains in either the
room or my ears.

I assume this imbalance is a loudspeaker-room interaction. The room is
not perfectly symmetrical but not far out. An intruding chinmey breast
is the main asymmetry, apart from furniture.
