In Reply to: Re: Is Mono all that bad if the speaker is very good? posted by JimL on April 3, 2007 at 15:11:59:
if you're listening to 2 or more channel source material in mono, you lose something and it's not only the spatiality that 2 or more channels provide. When you electrically mix 2 signals that were discrete, they interact in ways that they don't when fed to different speakers. That interaction is detrimental and reduces clarity.How much do you lose? Well, part of that depends on how the channels are combined, part on the speaker, and part on the listener and their experience, expectations, and tastes and preferences. Whether it's casual or serious listening plays a part. It doesn't bother me for casual listening and I can enjoy some serious listening that way but I'd prefer my serious listening to occur with the same number of channels as the source material. It may or may not be a big deal for you and you're fine if it isn't. If it turns out to be a big deal, then you will be unhappy.
