Tweeters next to each other or on top of each other will result with
virtually the same comb-filtering problem, as they will be approximately
the same distance from each other…I know because I’ve done it.
A mono signal going through a stereo home-audio set-up can give you
a nice phantom centre channel presentation…I know because I’ve done it 🙂
I opted for the Parasound JC3+ phono preamp, which has a Mono button. Produces amazing mono soundstage with stereo tower speakers. No girations needed.
This is a simple but technical way to do this.
The two input channels, can be fused together by a pare of resistors.
And once you do that, you now have a mono system.
Or, you could try putting a Y connecter on both of the input channels, but you would have to do something elce with the stereo output channels of your audio source.
If the speaker-setup is perfect, the music comes right from middle-like only one speaker would do. Depending on the recording the sound is very closely to the middle or sometimes wider. The effect of an mono-switch (amp) or an mono-pickup I didn’t experienced so far.

Once upon a time there were stereo/mono switches and balance controls(and also bass/treble controls).

hPaul, yes. I also have a JC3 Jr, but have no mono vinyl.
A purist mono listener would have a mono stylus and even a mono cartridge.
PS the Stellar sale at PSA thru May 30 has the. stellar Phono at an amazing price.
Paul, send commissions to my address on file

My system sounds very much like a one speaker setup when I’m playing a mono recording.

And this is when you know your speaker positioning is good. If you get “perfect” center channel illusion on mono recordings, you are doing well.
