I have no hearing in my left ear, and pretty good hearing for my age in my right ear.
(actually what happens (in my case) is bone conduction through skull presents the left ear info at 40dB down into right ear)
I can easily tell the difference in mono or stereo, and find stereo, even of solo instruments sounds better. More air, better sense of the instrument in space.
So if I have a choice, I will listen in stereo.
(If you find most mono recordings sound better from only one speaker.. I would say your speaker setup is bad.. Just my impression.)
