The difference between stereo and mono? With stereo, you are there. With mono, they are here.
Yes, and with properly reproduced Mono, they are each distinctly here.

As for a single speaker, as Eric mentioned (which is unrealistic for me and I presume many others) I will add:
From your normal centered listening position, if both speakers are fed the identical signal, PRECISE BALANCE, to properly create a solid phantom center image is very important.
Mono LP, both speakers on, I often move to a different listening position so that my mind does not seek imaging, and do not hear any slight off center wandering that may occur.
My McIntosh Preamp Mode Switch has L+R to L only ... or L+R to R only. I'm gonna try that next time I have a great Mono LP on, probably later today.
