Solo string instruments like violin and cello can sound pretty awesome in true mono (mono or folded stereo recording/mono speaker).Not as good with mono recording on stereo (comb-filtering effects).
Has anyone else noticed this?

In fact, when I want to listen to the Bach Unaccompanied Sonatas and Partitas, I usually reach for J-Fi's account on Pentatone, in all its 5.1 glory - the violin is always centered right in front of me, and I feel that I'm in the environment where she made the recording rather than in my own living room.
Is the center channel the primary channel in this 5.1 recording? Or do L/C/R share the burden almost equally? Or..?

. . . in the sense that they all contribute to the sense of placement within the original acoustic. However, you're right in supposing that the center channel is primary. BTW, I believe I was wrong in calling this a 5.1 channel recording - I think all the Pentatones are 5.0. (And besides, the .1 channel wouldn't have a lot to do on a recording of a solo violin anyway!)
Yes genungo. Especially when the system is comprised of an air-field coil loudspeaker, being driven by a single-ended triode amp, with a proper analog source of course!
I have never heard a field coil speaker. What do they do that's so special?
Air-field coil loudspeakers have a eerily "life-like" sound that no other type of speaker has been able to duplicate!
