If the off-axis listener gets mono from the
closest speaker, in what way is that any worse
than the person in the middle when all that is
available to him is mono from the centre
speaker? At least with stereo dialogue, the
person in the middle gets in, and the others are
no worse off than with only a centre feed.

Same problem with any real 2 channel stereo. So
why dont we make MONO recordings instead.

ignore the problem, so thatâs what happens most!
Cheap is the right word!
