Yes
But the unanswered question is, can we really detect the originating direction 
of low frequency sound if you do not
have assistance of the over 80-120Hz overtones ?

Or is the directional hint the the sensation of the impact on you body of the 
sound preassure wave ( high volume needed)?

There are research results indicating that it is not so important, that the 
highfrequency pshychocoustic impressions overrides and creates the directional 
impression.

Do any one have the definitive answer to this? Or do we really have to care, as 
far as "normal" use of mono channel for < 80Hz sounds.

For the 5.1 specification satellite speakers are to be able to go down to the 
cutover between 80 to 100 Hz, that some manufacturers of lowcost 5.1 appliances 
have a much higher cutover frequency is the normal corner cutting in low cost 
products.

Yes, assuming:

1.  The source contains bass from all
    directions
2.  The standing waves in the room don't
    screw up localisation of bass frequencies.

But this is also true for 5.1 (assuming some idiot doesn't stuff all of the 
bass into the LFE channel).

Martin
