Just curious.
Yeah it would have a noticeable effect in mono because coincident stereo arrays like XY (and M/S and Blumlein) rely on volume difference between the capsules to create the stereo image so gain matching the level difference between mics would focus the signal to the center of the image. But it would also change the stereo image.
Time aligning shouldn't (in theory) make much of a difference because the sound should hit both mics at the same time (if properly set up). Maybe these mics' capsules weren't as close to each other as they're suppose to be.
That said if it works it works.
