Three speakers are ranked by listener panels in both Monophonic and Stereo modes for (a) Sound Quality, (b) Spacial quality.In all cases both Sound and Spacial quality speakers are ranked more similar in Stereo mode than in Monophonic mode.
In case of Sound quality the relative rankings of the speakers remain the same as between Monophonic and Stereo. However in case of Spacial quality, the relative positions of speakers 'AA' and 'E' are reversed.
On the face of it, it would seem that Monophonic listening reveals Sound quality differences more accurately than Stereo. But for Spacial quality Monophonic listening might not be valid.
So what qualities cause a speaker to be ranked differently for Spacial quality? Different reflection characteristics are the likely culprit. Hence dispersion is likely to be the major factor -- but not only the dispersion width but also possibly different response curves at different frequencies.
It is also pretty clear that dipoles speakers have very different reflection characteristics than dipoles and are thus likely to significantly different Spacial qualities.
