    I will burn them on CD. Thank you.

    First thing I'd do is use a "mono" source, then use a voltmeter to verify that both speaker cabinets are getting the same voltage.

    You'll waste a lot of time messing with the speakers if the problem is in the preamp, or interconnects, or your source.

    That's the plan.

    Well, I moved them to paint my walls and when I put them back in place, they’re not playing. I can’t do anything with them until tomorrow night so, no toons for a couple of days.

    @F1nut @DarqueKnight or others.
    Found out, I broke the banana plug off of one of the speaker wires so the amp wouldn't let me get sound. I'm all good now, except, I think my left speaks is out of phase. When I play a left channel mono sound, it doesn't quite make it to the left speaker, it's somewhere in the middle. When I do the right channel, it's a hard right pan. My stereo signal still skews right. I have music that is in phase, that skews right and out of phase that skews further right. Could I have the blade blade cables hookup incorrectly? Should I reverse the positive and negative wires on the left channel?

    Have you checked all of the internal wiring?

    If it was me I'd trace internal wiring from binding post to each speaker to start, also check amp to speaker binding posts.

    Yes. Internal wiring checks out. From Amp to Binding post is correct.

    I'm remembering that I had the same issue with my SRS2's.

    Have you tried different amps, pre, source?

    Not a different pre, but both sources are the same.

    I would swap out the pre or bypass it to just a source of it has a volume control. If this issue was there with multiple speakers then it most likely not the speakers

    It's the white wire clip on the left speaker. The connection to the board is burned. It's either find new boards or figure out how to go point to point.

    Meh... Attach a photo, I can show you how to fix it. No need to replace the boards or go full point to point

    How did it get burnt?

    I’m thinking with trying to make sure that it stayed on the board.

    I forgot to mention how I “fixed” my problem. After checking all of the internal wiring to make sure everything was done correctly, I swapped the red and black speaker cables on the back of the left speaker.
