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

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying there's NO imaging. lots have studies have proven our ear/brain mechanism along with HRTF can localize objects in a 3D space!!

I'm just saying, I've heard speakers do it MORE than real.

The Guitarron was really interesting because even though it is a plucked instrument, it's sound is pretty low, as low as a double bass to my ears.

Best,

The best imaging I've ever heard however was from a HT system running Neo6 in music mode.

It filled in the center very nicely.

For me, there has been nothing more important; when it appeared in my listening room, I knew everything else was together.

It is impossible to get a good holographic image without top notch electronics, that let me know that I not only had high end components, but high end sound as well.

While it varies from record to record, the essence of depth and 3D is always there.

Orpheus 10,

What are your components?

Source is Marantz 8260 CD player, or, tweaked to the bone RP3, Grado Master 2 cartridge, followed by an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A that feeds Primaluna monoblocks.

I have custom 3 way speakers that utilize a Heil AMT; they're dipole; this helps the holographic sound stage.

My listening room has a vaulted ceiling, the speakers are 4 feet from the front wall and 2 feet from the side walls.

Now that it's winter, all is perfect; let me explain that; the left wall is a sliding glass door to the patio; that's not good. However, since it's winter, I have that door covered over with light insulation; consequently, no more sliding glass door, but a wall of insulation that makes the room perfect.

I consider what I have to be the ground floor of a good holographic image. I will be glad to answer any question you have.
