define sick. i've got some crapola 150watt minisystem with in addition to the tiny speakers a set of old big Pioneer speakers mounted in it. It sucks for the entire output range and has no direction at all - sucks for doom and quake. sick enough for you?
btw it has no direction because of the way the speakers are set up, not because of any stereo problem.
has it rained a lot recently where you are?
