Re: Connecting loudspeaker
For Mono not really but for stereo if you don't keep the same phase you will lose the Bass.
Cheers Mike T

Re: Connecting loudspeaker
My recollection of playing around with extension speakers on old radios as a schoolboy is that if connected in phase, the sound appears to come from mid-way between the speakers, and if in anti-phase, from both sides of your head.

Re: Connecting loudspeaker
If you have a crossed pair mic (not mullti mix) stereo recording, you can get a very good surround sound by having in addition to the usual stereo pair, a front central LS fed from the sum of the L/R channels and a speaker at the rear fed with the difference. I recall replaying a church service recording like this and clearly hearing some of the congregation coughing behind me!
