One speaker more bassy than other

Hi - newbie here so ge gentle.

I wasn't happy with the output from my SB Audigy plugged into my Cambridge Audio amp and Gale speakers setup, mainly playing mp3's with Winamp. The left speaker seemed a little more bassy than the right. I felt I could add a bit more bass to the right speaker. I should add that the speakers sound fine playing CD's from a seperate CD player.

I uninstalled the Creative drivers and went for the KX ones. After having a little play around with the DSP, can anyone tell me if I've done the right thing?
I've inserted 2 new Timbre effect/plugins between the Surrounder+ and the 10 Band EQ. The front left output from Surrounder+ goes through 1 Timbre effect and the front right goes through the other Timbre before both going to the 10 band EQ. So basically I can control the timbre of each channel seperately?
After tweaking the right channel timbre to add a little more bass, my speakers now seem to both sound the same when I swizzle the balance control back and forth.

Overall, the sound seems much better now.

Have I done the right thing in the DSP for the effect I was trying to achieve? ie. add a little more bass to my right speaker to level things out?
Thanks
Chris.

Yes that's the right way. Alternatively if you only need to adjust one channel you can do without the timbre module on the other channel. This is where kX excels.
