Most any audio engineer or audiophile will confess the vast majority of a music's spaciality is dictated by the room. For the 3-nines of us who cannot dedicate a room for ideal echo, decay,absorption making all the temporal DSP tech overtake the influence of the room is a sysyphean task. So when my son was born profoundly deaf in one ear, as an audiophile, I soon realized "time to prove the merits of single channel." So far that just means my everyday workstation has a single Tivoli Model One radio as the output transducer and it sounds good enough for watching films and playing Spotify on the desktop. My intended future hifi is a single Lowther speaker cabinet driven by a modestly powered single ended tube triode amplifier. Long live monaural! /Acey
