ricmici, it is already being done and some think it is the cats meow. Google Ambiophonics
So this is probably a really stupid question!
My integrated tube unit recently came upon some trouble. Left speaker tweeter has horrible screech. Changed position of speakers and stayed on left. Swapped all tubes and stayed on left. New speaker cables and stayed on left. Need to bring to local guy to look at but haven't got there yet.
In the interim I take my 15 year old iPod and connect into DVD input with a splitter cable. Then unplug left speaker cable and rotate balance to the right.
So now it seems like I am hearing all the sound that was meant to be heard coming out of one speaker. Not quite as dynamic but actually pretty soothing hearing it come from 1 point of reference. No screech. All instruments and voices seem to be there though certainly not as engrossing.
Even my wife finds the sound less overwhelming. I suspect this question has been answered decades ago and I am doofus for asking but why can't modern sounding equipment reproduce near stereo sound out of one speaker.
It would be much easier in many circumstances to position 1 speaker in your listening environment let alone test and purchase.
Again my apologies for being uninformed. Tried to research but didn't find any help. As they say "You only know what you know".
Thanks, Rich
