No so, Scott. The reason that MS was created by Sennheiser in the
late 70s was precisely because it solved the issue of a     -3dB drop
in the phantom center of XY and ORTF stereo fields...an inherent
problem with those systems.

With MS, the coincidence of the Mid and Side components "fills" the
phantom center so that the signal
appears to be evenly weighted in acoustic energy RC&L, assuming that
the MS data has been decoded properly
when mixed.
