1. If I understand this correctly the L and R outputs have opposite phase
   shifts. That means they will not sum to the input. Just assume the L
   shift is 90 degrees. then R is -90, and they will just cancel. 

2. If you measure this, you will also note amplitude differences between
   L and R outputs. This is to be expected. Even if the two filters have
   exact unity gain (and just a phase shift) at each frequency corresponding
   to an FFT bin, the resulting filter will not be all-pass.

3. At high frequencies (above 1 kHz or so), it's actually the amplitude
   differences and not the phase shifts that create the stereo effect.
