The Beatles Mono Box Set or The Beatles Stereo???

The mono box does not have the recordings that they made in stereo like Abbey Rd. It has the 10 original mono albums plus a double CD of all the Beatles' non album tracks and EP's. The mono box has 13 discs.
The stereo box has 16 discs including Abbey Rd, Let It Be and Past Masters plus 13 mini documentaries.

After several passes through the mono box set I find that I prefer the mono CDs over stereo for every album. At first listen I thought I preferred the stereo on some albums (White, Rubber Soul) - more audio expansion was presented by the stereo, and more lively. But on further listening I now always prefer the monos. The sound is much more tangible, intimate, real. Now I wish Abbey Road and Let It Be were available in mono. For me, mono, hands down.

Actually, it's more expensive, but you can get the stereo set on USB drive remastered in 24 bit (still at 44.1 for some reason). Much better resolution, detail, timbre.......... If, of course, you can play files off of a USB drive.
