Will you optimize your system for mono? I bought the Beatles mono CD box when it was released. At one point, I moved one of my speakers next to the other, and fed them both a mono signal by engaging the mono switch on my preamp.

I figured I'd attempt to emulate a typical late 1950s, early 1960s hi-fi system, by having effectively one speaker playing. Maybe it's because I have listened to stereo for so many years, but I found the stage right (in my case) presentation annoying.

Perhaps two speakers dead center might have been more to my liking, but my speakers work best with corner placement. I went back to a speaker in each corner, mono switch engaged.

Thanks for the Ortofon link. There's a lot of interesting information there!
