Sunfire: Holographic Imaging Opinions

I don't use it. I tried it for a week and I just can't take it seriously for 2 channel listening. You may get different results than me though, our listening rooms and are vastly different. What do you think of the hologrphic imaging?

You may check out my system.

I have used it many times and it works and sounds great with many recordings...not all. It also works better with some speaker systems than others. My Small Vmps 626's semm to work well with it, my large multi-driver Vmps supertowers not as well. When I got my Apogee Duetta Signatures last year I tried it with them and DID NOT like it at all with their di-pole sound field.

My guess is that it is recording and speaker system dependent.

I've been listening to music with holographic turned "on" for a couple of weeks and I have to say that I like it. With holographic turned "off", I feel like the soundstage becomes smaller. I'll go back again to it being "off" and do some more critical listening. Yes, our room environments are quite different. It would seem like your room would be better for holographic than mine.

Yeah, I think it's just a matter of personal taste. I actually use the Sunfire for home theater only....as you can see, I have three preamps in my system, the Sunfire, the Audio Research LS-10 pre for 2-channel cd and the Carver tube preamp for phono.

The holographic thing is probably system dependent. Diffent strokes for different folks.
