I noticed something was off but I didn't have them on long enough( doing some re shaping of my space) and I decided to take them out and run a bit of testing.
I noticed that there was a certain sound that would not play out of the left speaker, to feed the fact that I believed something was wrong I decided to turn the mono plugin on in foobar, get the same output out of both speakers. Same issue occurred, that single speaker just would not play that sound with the same impact(it was very muted). So lastly I took off the foobar plugin and swapped the RCA cables, of course same thing occurred.
I checked the connection from the speaker with the amp built in, to the speaker that was exhibiting this phenomenon and it seems like there is a solid connection. The wires are inserted into the holes and the knob is screwed on tightly. Just to make sure I did reseat them but that did not fix nor did it degrade the situation.
Now a little bit of information o nthe specific sound, it is a bit like the jingle of a bell or shaking of something. The song tested was Linkin Parks, What I've done. Regardless it sounded better, louder and with more impact than the other speaker.
My question to you is, what in the world could be wrong with it? Before dealing with AudioEngine directly, I figure I pose the question here first. Perhaps someone can elaborate on my situation and if i nthe end I need to call Audio-Engine I will have more context which to describe my problem.
