What does Holographic mean to you?


Many audiophiles use the term "holographic" when describing the sound of an involving speaker with great sonic character. What exactly does the term "holographic" mean to you, or some material that really demonstrates a speakers capability in this area.

It means that Bob Carver is a lot more influential within the audio industry than many give him credit for. After all, wasn't it he who coined the phrase / marketed "Sonic Holography" over 20 years ago? Sean

Maybe we should all plug our ears so Bob Carver will stop making us
hear what we hear. Damn that Bob!!! Okay, that was sarcasm. Doesn't matter who coined the term, "rain" -- when it falls on you, you get just as wet. Same with imaging. Further, I don't think Bob invented Holograms -- it was obviously a borrow. Just like most phrases used to describe what one hears. Few people know that *I* actually invented the phrase, "damn, this sounds GOOD!" So, anytime someone hears something that sounds good, it proves what enormous influence *I* have. Damn, if I had just patented that phrase....
Right Sean, I remember those goofy Carver ads from the early 80's. Cool Cubes and preamps with Sonic Holography, heheh. I tried kicking Princess Leia once, but my foot went right through her.
I recall a radio station in MI claiming to broadcast in Carver's Sonic Holography with much hype (1980 or 81 I think). They prefered late night broadcasts of Pink Floyd and Genesis, if I remember correctly. Never could figure out how they expected us to believe the holography was supposed to survive the broadcast.
