I'm pretty sure nayrb wrote the following (forgive any misattribution):
"Most of my woodwind samples are close miked and their intimacy just doesn't place them correctly in most of my bigger orchestral contexts. Sometimes they work left alone, but most of the time I make them mono and they seem to fit better. I often wonder if some subtle EQ cuts wouldn't help, too. Some samples can sound a bit too beefy due to their closeness."
Mattias pointed me at the following a long time back:

It's free and can be very helpful. From their webpage:
"The plug-in is an easy to use distance “pan-pot” based on several psycho-acoustic models. The idea is to give mixing engineer a reliable tool which allows him to manipulate the “depth” of several sound source in a straight forward and convincing manner."
