A 3-D, holographic soundstage may create an out-of-body experience to help me to suspend belief and to imagine that I am listening to a live performance. But it is not what I hear when I actually attend that live performance.
At some concerts acoustic is really bad and in the places where acoustics is great I cannot get and often afford good seat. Listening at home I have the best seat in the house.
I second the Apogee Scintilla. It's carioid delivery ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardioid ) floats the image in the air much like a holograph does the same for images. Driven well, it can perform enormous dynamic swings. It's real full range capabilities can produce a grand piano in the room that is nearly impossible to distinguish from a real grand.
