As mentioned on previous posts, mono has some great advantages. For example closing one's eyes, the impression is that the singer is somewhere in the room. Fully localized. You move your head and the sound source remains at the same spot just like having someone singing in the room. But reproduction has to be on one speaker only. It almost sounds nonsense if 2 speakers play the same signal. The sound waves of 2 speakers add to each other in a frequency and space dependent way. This is interference. Comb effect etc.
Visualizing, it is the great difference between throwing one peddle on swimming pool with water as opposed to 2 pebbles.
Anyway, are there YouTube videos with information on only one channel?
Or perhaps a CD single having the normal stereo track and then the same music playing in mono but on one channel only. Or a 3rd track with mono but on 2 channels. This should be an interesting comparison.
