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

It seems that the lower the noise floor, the better the 3-D imaging becomes. With proper room treatments and specific tweaks, that noise floor can be reduced way, way, way .... way beyond what we could ever have imagined.

"To that end I think to some imaging is everything. It's often the mark of a better system - rarely do very good/ well put together systems - lack in this respect."



That is so true; once I got "holography" tone and timbre were truer. Not one component did I change, not even did I move one speaker; it was all done through room treatment; but don't forget, that was after 30 years of upgrading components and trying for a better image.

If there is anyone here who has not made at least one room treatment, raise your hand?

Those cherished bass frequencies mess everything up; that's the place to start by placing bass traps in the corners.

I feel like a grade school teacher speaking to a high school class on this post, and I hope that's the case.

Falconquest, I looked over the reviews and specs on your speakers; they sound good, and if I had a spare 5K, I would give them a try. BTW, that's a good price for what they claim to deliver; which is holography that doesn't necessitate a lot of expensive room treatment. (my room treatment is not expensive, and neither is it attractive, but it works)
