Steve--You're right, it needn't be either one thing or the other. People tell me my rig images nicely but I really don't pay much attention to that, until recently I was using a mono rig with a single Altec 605A and a Fisher 80AZ in one of my rooms and I loved listening to it. What I like is to be able to clearly pickout and listen to the various parts of the music if I want; to concentrate on the bassline or the bassdrum-snaredrum play (the beat in other words I reckon) or the piano, guitar, singer or whatever, I can do this with a good mono rig. In fact sometimes I think the whole stereo thing is an actual distraction from concentrating on the music itself. My reference sound is what instruments and voices sound like in my house or other small spaces, I've spent many lots of time practicing and jamming there, I know what drums, bass, guitar, horns etc. can sound like there. When I hear music live I pretty much dial-out the sound of the venue to concentrate on the music. Now I'm gonna pickup my bass and play along with "Downpayment Blues" by AC/DC. :-)
