Same thing will happen if you started out mono compatible.

Being in the sweet spot is no more an issue for spaced pair than for mono compatible, perhaps less so when out of the sweet spot as that strick mono compatible "advantage" is lost among room reflections with a spaced pair of speakers. Headphones listening converted to mono is probably the worst situation for spaced pair miking.
