It depends on the arrangement and production of the individual track you are listening to. Its stereo, so quite often what is heard from one speaker is different from another.

[quote user="Andrew Everard"]If the sound from both speakers was identical, you would be listening in mono.[/quote]

OK well it's the difference in sound between the two speakers that creates the impression of a stereo (ie solid) image between and around the speakers.

When I turn my receiver down, the left speaker goes silent before the right one. Weird, eh?

Yup my old Arcam Alpha 2 used to do that. I asked them years ago and they said don't worry about it, there's some natural variation in balance on the older analogue volume controls that you can't get rid of at very low volumes. I bet you can if you pay Musical Fidelity money!

Simply replacing the control fixed the problem on my ancient Sansui.

the point of having 2 speakers rather than 1 is to make it posible to re create the sound stage of the origional recording (stereo imaging) good stereo imaging creates a sound than seems to extend the room.

Years ago, and in a room and a house and a world very different from the present, all the surface noise from my Sondek used to come from the bottom of some shelves 2 feet to the right of, and just behind, the right-most speaker. Very strange.

ok good but then if i swap balance completly from right to left i think the sound is much brighter and with more treble on the left and verylow down and with much more bass on the right but thats just at low volume when i turn up the volume it all appears to go back to normal ( by normal i mean it sounds rightn again )
