Mono tracks don't come from just the centre speaker, it is just one discrete channel of sound. Most receivers automatically split the sound over at least your two front stereo speakers. Up until recently, a lot of TV broadcasts were in mono, but you didn't just hear it from the right speaker, you just didn't get the directional effect of stereo. It's like mono mixed records from before the 1970s, you usually had more than one speaker but you didn't have multi-channel discreteness.
