Geeeezus Jimmy, i swear sometimes I think you're going through pms. You'll get bent out of shape over nothing.
We're having a conversation, it's a thread for crissake. Bringing up different points of veiw is what this stuff is all about. It's not like we're aurguing politics.
And as to mono, not everyone listens on earbuds. I know a lot of people with bluetooth speakers sitting somewhere in the home. You get more than ten feet from it and it collapses into mono.
And yeah, a car is better for stereo imaging.
I'm not saying to mix in mono, but that it's usefull to check in mono.
There's also a recent video about mono from that Graham guy. You may go whaver, but he's a bit more highly regarded than any of us.
I'm sure if any of us got interviewed on Pensado's Place, we'd have heard about it.
On the 'home theater, not everyone has the full array. Myself, I have a big screen but just two speakers. That was brought up as an example, simply to illustrate that as being only of the few times that people outside of the recording world will actually sit in any kind of 'sweet spot'.
There, end of my rant.
" If you look at a music waveform on a 'scope you can see that whatever is playing the resultant is ONE waveform and it is that which is reproduced by the cone".
Ya, but for duffers like me, music on the scope doesn't supply any dirt. I got pulse tones to generate. And, I can plot that on top of other test tones
Like I said earlier, I've not fell into a scope since I've been in Arizona...
Careful...I hear there are sinkholes opening up from all the ground water being sucked out in that dry state.

Yes well. My points is not really about 'scopes or the supply of manure. A lot of people think speakers reproduce discrete frequencies. They don't, they reproduce a sum of all the frequencies of the signal as a complex waveform.
I just wanted to make that point clear.
Keep Calm and Carry On chaps.
Dave.
That is immaterial if one frequency is affecting reproduction of the other. Commonly, it's a sound box like a acoustic guitar
Which is exactly what ecc83 said here: "they reproduce a sum of all the frequencies of the signal as a complex waveform". That's what the sound box of a guitar does.
Headphones for flat bass - hmm. Beats maybe?
