Can a system sound too Holographic?

Hi friends :)

So I got a question for those interested. For me, having a 2 channel system with a Holographic soundstage is very desirable.

I bring this up because I had lent some Centerstage 2 footers ( isolation devices) to a friend to try out. To make a long story short, he likes what they are doing under his Lumin T3, however he mentioned that it might be "Too Holographic". I don't know about you guys and gals, but that wouldn't really be a problem for me. Your thoughts or experiences please. Anyone experience a soundstage that was too Holographic?

I sometimes hear systems with no center image--everything seems to be coming from one speaker or the other--the opposite of "speakers disappear".  

People seem to like this sound but maybe that is what your friend means by "too holographic".

To me holographic means the vocals are front center left.  Guitar front center right.  bass back left.  Drums back right.  backup vocals right....etc

Speakers wired out of phase can be described as 'too holographic' (as heard by novice audiophiles). Out of phase speakers can/will loose a well defined center image.
