tube fanatic Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 If you think that obsession with modern systems is unique, check out this installation from 1958. I’ve returned to my roots with a single speaker mono system with no regrets at all! Maynard 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wetowne Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Glorious Mono! I love it. I listen to lots of mono recordings. I do feel there is a benefit to listening on a well placed set of stereo speakers though. Sit in the sweet spot and you get a good sense of depth that you don't get with one speaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube fanatic Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 I enjoy listening to the phantom center image also. However, I am finding that the single speaker placed in the corner creates such wide dispersion that an illusion of width and depth is created which is even more pleasing to my ears. By changing the listening spot I can create varying acoustic effects which, depending on the recording, can be very enjoyable as well.

Schu Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I had been looking for a single Klipschorn to set up a dedicated mono system, but I do have a spare cornwall... maybe that is my que to get started. I need a turntable that can do 78rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
