Akai saves them this way and I suspect the conversion does not merge them
into a stereo wav file.

I believe that this is because Logic creates split stereo files with the
extensions of ".wal" and "war" for wav file left and wave file right.  If
you rename these files with .wal and .war extensions instead of the current
.wav extensions, you'll probably be able to convert to stereo wave without
any problems.

HTH,
