But phasey could make sense:
The Ty2 Live Grand is made up of 2 voice elements - very similar/seemingly identical to my ears when sounded separately- except one is panned hard left, the other hard right in normal use.
To my simple mind if you coalesce these elements into 1 mono channel you have 2 "identical" waveforms superimposed - hence an opportunity for phasing - noticed by some, hence the phasey comments??.

IF they were exact copies you would have cancellation. That's how vocal eliminators work revers the phases and add them together. Now there may be some frequencies of opposite phase that may cancel each other but but if that was a real issue there are plenty of Mono piano patches to use. The audience would be no wiser. They hear Piano.99.9% don't have a reference to determine what kind or quality unless its really out of bed, No Digital Piano (and lately GM piano) is that far off the make for most Joe Plumber listeners. And its THOSE people we are hired to play for. Not a room full of Music professors and Recording Engineers.
BTW to the guy who mentioned the Radio Shack Optimus 7's . For a long time they were considered great speakers to mix on,
The Lowly MDR7506 head phones are STILL industry standard headphones. I just bought a new pair after 20 years with the old ones. I took the drivers out and put them in my Motorcycle Helmet. They still work well
