just to see. i was running a Denon DL-102 thru a stereo amp to two speakers and wanted to see what mono thru one speaker was.

took my Jolida jd-9 and plugged it into a passive preamp then into the cj sonographe 250. i wired the amp verticaly, left channel going to bass and right going to mids/top on my one Paradigm Signature v100. turns out you still need to position that speaker so it throws out from a good vantage point, so a corner is best.

result? muscular with a higher sense of reality, especially female singers. i tend to not pay attention to balance, haha, and there is less of a critical nature to the enjoyment. also freedom to move around outside the sweetspot. while the sound is narrower it is much bolder and somehow larger in it's own way.

Worth doing. i'm keeping that one table setup that way. still have another on stereo. life is good.
