My experience with co-incidence stereo
I use a loudspeaker, which is stereo in the presence range only:
I feel, that the mono tweeter is needed, for else mono signals would be comb-filtered in the trebles at any listening positions xcept precisely on axis.
In my moderately damped shoes-box room looping a panning pink noise and standing at a greater distance i can just detect the stereo. The stereophonic information from vinyl fuses with the reflections off side walls producing a decent stereo effect. It does not sound wrong at closer distance, but off the axis i stumble into the left or right beam.
Co-incident stereo is more relaxed than multi sources stereo. Because most ensembles do not fit into my room anyway. My loudspeaker is like a vertical gap in a wall, behind which the ensemble is playing. I cannot hear the ensemble directly xcept for the middle player, low frequencies refracted thru the gap and trebles transported via a friendly helper, but only its reflections off the walls of my room.
Somehow it is all matery, somehow it is all in the head.
