Let's see the scenario: User hooks up left and right speakers,
turns receiver on, puts on a CD, turns it on, and, damn! one
speaker doesn't seem to be working! Maybe the balance control
is off, so user turns the balance control to the defective
channel, in an attempt to increase the amount of drive to that
speaker. Of course, the user has probably more attenuated the
signal to the good channel. But there's that other channel,
playing weakly. Now, the user turns the volume control up, and
it gets a little louder than shuts off.

And, by the way, even if the amplifier DID shut down both channels
on an overload on one, the user would never know the difference
if he's turned the balance control far enough that the good
channel is silenced, would he?

Would he?

Ever tried to diagnose a stereo with one channel not working?

What would Howard do?
