RE: Sunday night nonsense?

It's not nonsense at all.

Stereo image is just an illusion and nothing more.

But a single speaker is similar to having an instrument located in YOUR room where that speaker is sitting. Now, the mono signal will still have reverb and time-domain effects imparted in it, but this does not take away from the benefit of listening to CERTAIN recordings in mono.

If you are listening to recorded guitar playing, listening in mono with one speaker located where you want the guitarist to "be" in your room actually makes sense! ;)

Cheers,
Presto
