Stereo v Mono, The Great debate which do you use ?
After reading a few articles regarding the Great Stereo v Mono debate, it kind of gets you thinking.
My personal view is for home Hifi etc then there is no questioning stereo has to be the best?
However, in a live environment (Disco) there are a few questions to be asked of Stereo?
Do you really think the difference is that great in a live environment?
Have a look here and read

Minimal benefit from using stereo in a PA system. In fact, if you're speakers are placed quite far apart, the sound could be vastly different either side of the room. Play Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' and pan left to right, and you'll see what I mean :-)
If you do go with stereo, it might be advisable to have the ability to switch to mono if needed, should a speaker blow, for example.

Mono.
It stands to reason that unless you stand/dance midway between the speakers you will never get the benefit of stereo sound.

I use mono, because a lot of the audience will not get the benefits of the stereo sound.
Plus if you have to turn one side of your speakers down, or even off, you need to hear all the audio from the speakers you have left on.

Mixer.

I've just tested several genres of tracks at home ... walked out of the room - put my ear to one speaker panned the speakers ... closed my eyes switched mono - stereo to see if I could tell the difference outside the room - stereo sounds noticeably better in all the tests I've done especially on tracks which do not have any extreme panning which is 99% of tracks.
