I really do hear what Bill had to say about this, but I do agree with Luis,
in this instance, having heard Sjaak's beautiful ambient soundscapes
live several times.
The more spatial the 'swirl' is, the better in this case.
I am almost entirely a mono looper myself because I do see it's
egalitarian possibilities (everyone gets a similar mix regardless of
where they stand
in the room) but I also see that extreme phase cancellation
only occurs in one place in a room, exactly equidistant from the speakers
(I know this is a simplification of all the intricate possibilities of
phase cancellation
but I am only talking about when one's left signal is 180 degrees out of
phase with the
right side's signal)..........so the damage is not horrible even when
this occurs, except
for a noticeable drop in volume when all frequencies are 180 degrees out
of phase.
I think this possibility is much less of a problem when there is a lot
of rhythmic
content in the music, like the way, Bill, Luis or I play. Mono can
work better sometimes
in these situations.
that's my not terribly informed two cents,
