My Question What is the actual problem with these speakers, and is it something that can be fixed? Please tell me streight if they're totally busted      Problem: Absent left stereo output / mono output only coming out one speaker (I don't really know)   I bought an old (2009) active 2.1...

They "sound" hunky dory but I'm sceptical...   Cede headphones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLUETOOTH-2-1-WIRELESS-STEREO-HEADPHONES-HEADSET-WITH-MICROPHONE-FOR-IPHONE-IPOD-/400480271563?pt=UK_AudioVisualElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Headphones&hash=item5d3e7bfccb     What I'm listening through...

Hi, I'm new to all this so please forgive any idiocy on my part.      I got myself on old playstation 1 (scph-1002) with rca stereo jacks on the back. I connected these to some headphones via an adapter cable but the volume is too low.   So I'm thinking I want to get myself one of...
