If your system is set up correctly, a mono recording should come from the center between your speakers. If it doesn't then you probably need to figure out a better layout of your system or use a different room.
Another reason why one might want a balance control would be when playing a recording that is out of balanced. This is extremely rare. Usually if the recording is out of balance it has worse problems and may not be worth listening.
I had a problem with balance in my present room because of a closet and a wall that stuck out because of it. I fixed this by hanging two layers of a heavy blanket on the offending wall.
