I see your point Fran, and it does make sense as you describe, but for some reason I don't get those results.
Believe me, if they didn't work properly in stereo, I wouldn't have them.
If you read any of my old posts about the Bose as a single system, you would see how critical I was of it's one dimensional mono sound, so being convinced about two of them was a stretch....but they do sound terrific.
Maybe it is the way Yamaha's stereo imaging is set up...I don't know, but we did try a Roland G-1000 with it and it sounded great.
I do know that several bands in my area use multiple Bose systems...one for each performer, with up to five on the stage, and they have no issues with the sound either.
I don't completely understand the science behind it, but I don't need to as long as it works for me.
I've played a midi file, and walked around the room, and I can hear the difference between when I use one, and then two, and it is a marked difference.
I'm glad I spent the loot on it...it works perfect for my style of play, so I'm happy, and my audience is as well.

BTW...here's something interesting about Bose in stereo..
