Mo,

It's not like you have to pan the instruments in extreme amounts...just a little works wonders at broadening the sound whilst still keeping it contained.

There is still a perceived depth, and two speakers naturally have a bigger sound.

For home recording I use different settings for panning...it's easy to temporarily modify the style.

I spent a lot of time on my settings and styles for the type of music and venues I play...worked steady at one restaurant for over 11 years...so it seems to be paying off.
