I agree so far as RCA is concerned. Those early stereo "shaded dogs" are excellent for their time in large part because the stereo effect is so well done. Many other early stereo LPs are very poorly done and you might be better off listening in mono.
RCA and Mercury also did excellent mono LPs in the 1950s. Yes, you are missing something with large orchestral pieces. You get a realistic sound but from a 20th row perspective rather than a 1st row perspective.
