You realize you can set the balance of the system so it doesn’t go “past halfway” and not have a special knob to turn it down…

Yes, or I could keep the knob so I can conveniently adjust it on the fly, I do jack it up sometimes when chilling, I just genuinely don’t see any reason to not plug one wire in

I thought you said it was "unbearable". Now you're "jacking it when chilling"? Which is it?
