Running 2 active speakers to monitor & direct outs question

When I set up 2 active CLRs in stereo with the monitor and direct outs the volume is louder on the monitor out side. I set monitor out to left and direct out to right. I switched speakers but that is not the issue. Everything works fine if I go monitor out to a CLR and then link to the second CLR, the volumes are the same but it is not in stereo. I am judging by having both the monitor and direct outs at the same output levels. Should having the same levels out be the same volume?

I am not at my Kemper now but I noticed that when the power amp is on and the power boost is turned up that it also affects the volume of the CLRs. I am wondering if it only affects the monitor out and not the direct out. I am also wondering if the power boost is on if it can cause clipping while being played loud.
