The thing is, the input cables are hardwired to the sattelites. But the problem does switch sides when I switch channel to which each speaker is plugged into. I'm also confident that it isn't the audio source as I plugged in my PS3 and a game where there's a "mono" option for sound and the sound difference still remained. I also tried Youtube videos as well as my PS2 and regardless of input, the problem persists (stereo or mono in terms of internet, gaming, or offline music). I also tried my TV and now I'm fairly certain that it's probably the amp in the sub.
BTW, how can I "Rep" you positively. Just my way of saying thanks for even responding to a frustrated noob.
Edit: Just saw the thanks button ^_^.
This may get long; once again THANK YOU ADAM for even listening, feel lucky to have met you so soon on this forum.
BTW, what speaker system would you recommend? Nothing high end, but in the $100 range as these Swan M10's were $117. I'm kinda over the whole 2.1 stereo thing. Just want good speakers that are good for near-field listening.
To elaborate on my tastes, I HATE bass that is loud and drowns out everything. When it underlies/blends into and disappears into the music/sound source, it's good. Would much rather not have any "dedicated" bass speaker (subwoofer) as this is getting ridiculous. Each 2.1 system I try has a problem, with the bass either being too much, or the amp in the sub providing uneven sound to the satellites, to RIDICULOUS (you wouldn't believe) overheating problems.
I hear 2.0 is good for music and I can live with that. I don't play games with shooting and explosion. Just RPG's and fighting, that have no reliance on bass whatsoever as they are more musically and sound effect focused in the mid and high areas.
