I make a serious post for once, and all you fekkers do is derail the thread.

Shame, shame, shame.

I'm accidently starting to like you :lol:

I was reading your pet store post in the wee hours this morning and had to stop halfway through the post to go and sit elsewhere fro fear of accidently embarrassing my self.

Missus must have thought something weird was happening in the ******* with all of a sudden unavoidable sniggers and giggling.

Assuming the speakers are placed equidistantly from each respective ear, you're in an anechoic chamber and the sound from each speaker is somehow stopped from passing to the other side of your head (because you can hear sounds from opposite directions even without reflections) then it will probably be perceived as mono by all listeners. Doesn't stop there actually being two signals, but.

experiment for you bum: play a mono recording through two speakers. don't have to use your anechoic chamber if you don't want to. does it sound like two speakers or one?

 

[bum]

Your experiment is the exact opposite of the position you were previously presenting. Previously two even level signals were no longer stereo - now we're dealing with a mono source all of a sudden?

Regardless, since you specify I can put the speakers in a normal room and assuming I am not placed at the exact tip of an equilateral speaker/speaker/human triangle (which wouldn't make it impossible) - yes, I absolutely can tell there are two speakers because I have two ears. I can tell what direction each speaker is in with eyes closed and I can even make a reasonable guess as to what size (and possbly shape) the room might be. I'll grant you that the source signal is absolutely still mono.

[EDIT: errant characters]

but that is my point bum. two even level signals are exactly the same as mono. it's the differences between two sound sources in a stereo mix that make them perceived as separate. and that's enough pointless argument. sorry Mike L'ltorus

 

[bum]

exactly the same...[snip]...perceived

And there you have it.

Regardless, even if a person only has one ear, we are hard-wired (in an evolutionary/survival sense) to have very directional hearing. You cannot hear in mono - the closest you'll get is in an anechoic chamber and people tend to start to feel physically unwell with prolonged exposure. We hate it - it is unnatural. It just doesn't happen.

Can't tell the difference? Doesn't mean physics and psychoacoustics change all of a sudden.

That sounds like a serious accident. I'd advise you to seek medical attention before it festers.

1 - Why would that stop you from contributing to the OP? That's moronic.

2 - Why would you think your contribution so important and original that you'd give it without reading the entire thread?

1. Can you explain the moron comment? I was just not wanting to distract you noobs from your intercourse.
2. Hmmm ... maybe because I anticipated some intelligent comment. Sadly I was wrong as your comment so admirably demonstrates. Well done sir, on with your circle jerk!
