IMO, stereo is intended to reproduce the sound of a given performance *with the assumption* that one has two ears, and thus two microphones strategically located can faithfully simulate and reproduce the sensations of being live at the recording event.

Doesn't it also assume that these two ears receive only the sound from each respective left/right speaker - which is not what happens ?

Two totally different things.

Sorry, but what does that mean ? I don't know what distortions from the speaker/air interface a dipole is intended to overcome ?
And knowing this I hope it will allow me to understand why horns are better for this ?
p.s. mono horns - Romy says they 'honk'
