Can a system sound too Holographic?

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.

If a holographic soundstage is part of the recording, too holographic has never been a problem for me. If the system is generating it, then yes....I suppose too much could happen and would be less desirable, but I can think of worse traits.

Yeah...if he said, it was too bright, too forward or added an metallic sheen to everything then I could understand that being an issue. But he claims he is trying to get use to it. We shall see lol
