Sean Olive, as quoted by carcass93
"I still listen to 2-channel stereo music, but it's seldom listened to through 2 speakers: it's listened through 5 to 7 channels via an up-mixer like Logic 7. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. The up-mixing gives me a center channel (missing in stereo), a much wider sweet spot (also missing), and a sense of envelopment and spaciousness that is entirely devoid in 2 channel reproduction. I'd rather be in the concert hall listening to Bach that looking through a window into the concert hall."

"After reading the passage from my original post, where his stereo has no center fill, practically no sweet spot, and no sense of envelopment and spaciousness, I can begin to understand why one would want to test in mono."
Sean Olive's text seems pretty clear to me, except that c93 did not place it in any context. c93's characterization above is a total misrepresentation of what Sean Olive said.
