Holographic is just a word. Like a lot of words audiophiles use to describe sound. I can’t get too hung up on words since everyone has different idea in their heads what words mean. One man’s holographic is another man’s two-dimensional and flat. I understand some people can’t get the sound to escape the confines of the speaker cabinets. If I say the sound is warm or has air some people think it means one thing, others think it means something entirely different.
High Powered Holographic Amplifiers
I am looking for high powered amplifiers that are truly Holographic..
My speakers are power hungry,
The Audio Research Ref 610T is easily the most holographic amplifier(s) that have ever been in this system.
The solid holographic images moving around the room are nothing short of amazing.
Music just seems to pour out of the speakers.
My "room" is completely untreated and has lots of noise provided by my sub zero fridge and freezer units.
My equipment is pretty good, though.
Are there any solid state options that are as good?
My speakers are Magnepan 20.1
Preamp is Audio Research Ref 5
Source is a VPI (both Classic 3 and Aries I)
Cart is a Dynavector XV1-s
Phono Pre is a Manley Steelhead RC
Cables are whatever I bought on Ebay, Power cords (in this system) are generally just normal factory.
(I'm not looking for a white paper discussion on what sonic holography is, or to discuss ancient Carver products.)
Curious about the Ayre MX-R, the Pass XS-300 (but I have no experience whatsoever with either).
Are there any other amplifiers besides the Ref 610T that might be _truly_ worthy of the epithet "Holographic"?.
(If you don't know the difference between soundstaging and holography, this is not the thread for you.)
