RE: Interesting graph from your link

No doubt the difference is reflections. What I find puzzling is how anyone can possibly not see the elephant in the room....the reflections in the room. There is no imaging in mono. Period. Any sense of "spaciousness" one gets from listening to a speaker in mono is generated by the listening room's interactions with the speaker's radiation pattern. That's not imaging. Imaging is a result of spacial cues being encoded in the stereo recording by the differences in the two signals and being decoded in playback by our two ears detecting those differences. That does not happen in mono.

The test is absurd. the idea of imaging and spaciousness in mono is absurd. And clearly the results show th disconnect between trying to judge those particular properties in mono.
