OK, I managed to get to the "fully mono" experiment done pretty quickly. The single speaker made a more "compact" sound that stuck more closely to the speaker, itself, despite "increased" ambient cue "saturation".
No surprise, I happen to prefer my optimised-for-stereo system in stereo, even when the "stereo is mono", since I prefer the sound to "originate" "in space", away from the speakers.
Still, rather than bringing me to a "conclusion" regarding stereo versus mono, this little session has instead pushed me to wonder if a better idea might actually be more of a normal mono/stereo "hybrid" that might get the most from either "format", with better density and better ambience in both cases.
For openers, I can get the full-mono sound to "open up" significantly if I get my head just right with respect to the tweeter...
Hmmm...
