A question to all the Engineers out there:

Can you detect channel imbalance using a multimeter? I used a multimeter with my HDP and it stated that the voltage and amperage on the right channel was much higher than on the right when testing with a 3000Hz Sine wave.
 
Although I have a suspicion that my right channel is a little louder, the difference doesn't seem to be that drastic. This leads me to think that this method if flawed. So my question is: "Is measuring voltage and amperage a valid way to test for balance?" If not, is there a way possible to measure channel balance using a multimeter?
 
The measurements I'm getting
 
Left: 6millivolt // 0.6milliamp
Right: 10 millivolt // 0.9milliamp 
 
Nuforce HDP; volume pot at 12 (halfway)
