It is possible that the hardware designer had a Friday afternoon moment and one of the audio channels ended up inverted - so that one of the speakers sucks instead of blows. When this happens you can hear there is a stereo signal but it's impossible to 'locate' the sound.

This problem is easy to identify. With the amp switched off, swap the two wires on one of the speakers. Then fire everything up and see if it sounds better.
Thats not bad thinking Altis! That would definitely have the effect of removing the stereo spread. No easy way to check or swop over the connections if using a scart straight into a TV tho. You could cannibalise a scart lead and swop them over yourself but its not soemthing I would encourage.
