In Reply to: Correctly Listening to Mono recordings posted by erik_sq on October 3, 2016 at 21:39:35:
Funny, but I've tried listening to mono with one speaker and I always end up favoring "phantom mono" with two speakers. And reading the liner notes on some LPs made back in the early 1960's I see that it was suggested that mono recordings played over two speakers can sound better than mono recordings played over one speaker.It might be because I'm too used to listening to two-channel stereo, but "two speaker mono" creates a wider sound field that I enjoy more. The comb-filtering effects produced by two speaker mono also seem pleasant to my ears somehow. And the slightly more subdued midrange presentation makes for a slightly less distracting mono listening experience, at least for me. Go figure!
So maybe I'm not too interested in extracting the best possible mono listening experience from my system because I greatly prefer stereo and because I so rarely listen to mono recordings, but that is the way it stands right now.
To each his own, I guess.
