Not clear proper information that describes the matter. Need proper clearly detailed exact description of what you did to the wires, what wires and where the wires where when you changed them. Electronics is not a generalized rough sort of idea and it requires exact statements if one is to be expected to assist.
Thank you, I called Ohm and they said switch the speaker wires to see if the speaker was the problem. The wires connect the speakers to the amplifier, if I take the wire from the working speaker and exchange it with the non working speaker wire the audio switches to the other side. Sometimes I can get sound out of the channel that not working but it's weak or intermittent. Sorry for poor information, my husband was the audiophile and he has passed without leaving any instruction.
If you need to replace something, the simplest and most economical solution is a receiver. In case you don't know this, a receiver is a tuner, preamp, and power amp in on box. But if you have a turntable (record player) make sure the receiver has a phono input. (Phono inputs aren't as common as they were in the analog days.)
Dear Mr Toole,You're right, if the speakers work one at a time they are OK.
The next thing is to swap the left and right connections between the preamp and power amp. Again, if the problem switches to the other channel, both channels of the power amp are working and the problem is in the preamp, or cables, or something earlier in the "chain".
Assuming you have multiple inputs to the preamp, try switching sources.
And try operating all if the switches/knobs on the preamp because it's not unusual for them to get bad/intermittent contact.

You probably won't get as much wattage as the power amp but you probably don't need it in a home environment unless you really like to crank-it up loud.
