that's a difference of 4 watts of power. Watts is calculated by v^2/R. If you then covert the wattage difference to SPL you'll find that your about .3db's different between channels which is well below the threshold of easy hearing. It's that's a pretty normal amount of voltage to be off by and isn't audible.
