I was thinking about all the philosphical discussions here about the shortcomings of stereo, what digital has to offer over analog, etc, and the idea came to me: what if I assembled a true mono system? I don't mean just a mono cartridge to playback mono records, but a single speaker system with a big baffle vintage style, and used a single channel all the way through. (It would be vinyl, of course, and tubes). Has anybody here done this? I have no idea what a stereo record would sound like over this kind of rig (I know the little labels on alot of my records tell me that this newfangled 'stereo' format is fully compatible with monophonic. I have a few hundred mono records that I could start with).
This was going to tie into another thread on 'horns' which I will probably start later- I would love to hear those GIP recreations of the WE drivers. Has anyone heard those? I gather they were at a couple of shows in the States a few years ago with a pretty large speaker system.
