How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?

Well said hifidream and exactly right.

@helomech +1  Well said!

It is a parlor trick, although I agree it can be pleasant on small combos (jazz, folk, chamber).  You simply don't hear it with live music, even sitting close to a jazz combo.  To create it is a matter of absorption and reflection .... I have created the illusion in different dedicated rooms of enormously varied shape.  If your system is in a living area, almost of necessity you have to compromise.

I am in the tonal balance and reasonable ambience camp.  I can sit back, close my eyes, and enjoy the music, just as I do in a live concert (and I attend at least a few every month).

I completely agree.

Holography is an artificial effect. 
However, I don’t disagree with ANYTHING  hifidream said above.
I just wouldn’t call it holographic. It’s excellent soundstaging.
To me, holography exists when a solo singer is spookily suspended in air in front of you.  That doesn’t happen in real life.
I guess we’re dealing in semantics.
