Can a system sound 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

Can a system sound too Holographic?

if done properly, no

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.

I would like to hear other opinions here about the meaning of "holographic", but I don’t agree with yours. I always understood it to mean three dimensional images of voices and instruments. I have only heard it in person twice. Once was a pair of Watt Puppy 5’s, and there did seem to be ghosts of the singer and the instruments in three-dimensional space, but overall, I didn’t like the sound as it was too thin.

As far as something being "too holographic", I can’t imagine what that person was hearing when he said it, but he was probably describing some other sonic anomaly and using the wrong word.
