We'll start with the basics of how we hear and how it conflicts with the stereo reproduction of music. Everything we hear in life is in mono. The inherent problem with stereo is there are two sources of sound (the speakers) attempting to reproduce the mono sources of music. Our hearing mechanism can tell that's what is happening, and it produces phase distortions, irritation, annoyance and boredom effects that are subtle, but highly prevalent.
