If you are able to play that same recording back in mono and you get similar results, then you should consider what Duke posted.You should be able to position two speakers in a room and play a mono recording without that happening. The mono "image" should sound like it's coming from between the speakers but not directly from either speaker. Then when you play it back in stereo, you should get stereo effects, AKA imaging.
Most stereo imaging is artificial anyway, not to say that it isn't fun. I think it's best to try and achieve a good balance between a solid mono image and subtle stereo effects. Although some recordings can get wild with stereo "fun".
