Can a system sound too Holographic?

In 1980 I was so impresssed with a demo of Bob Carver's Sonic Holography pre amp, I drained my savings, bought the c4000 pre & M400 cube amp. Still use the pre amp. Just sold the cube. Replaced with a great Odyssey amp.

To me its like the differance between mono and stereo.

I do turn it off for some genres like old jazz or a single singer and guitar, but prog rock, synth, electronic, etc music can be immersing.

So my answerer to OP, yes it may not suit some music styles, but it can be great for others.

By the way my speakers are Magnepan 1.7is which on their own create a nice openess.

Polk made speakers back in the 1990s, 2000s? They used a 3rd cable "interconnect" between them. They definatelty created a big soundstage / holographic effect.

A sounfield must be coherent...

And the cables and amplifier and speaker help for the holography indeed , but a coherent holography is an ACOUSTIC phenomenon FIRST AND LAST coming if the speakers/room is optimized... ....Not a disturbing artefact...

But we can create artificial holography for sure, a compaqny i will not name sell devices that do that artificial "holographical sound effect" i am not interested by that kind of "tweaks"...I am in mechanical room  acoustic or electronic BACCH filters which are natural recreation of the recording soundstage in a "virtual room holography  " with no degradation of timbre instruments...

if someone do not want to tune his room to create a natural holography, the Cgoeri BACCH filters do that and IT IS NOT ARTIFICIAL TRICK...Read about it...

iirc, the Center Stage footers takes an extended period of sonic ups and downs until finally settling - did your friend wait long enough before making an evaluation? 

No

I agree with your friend. A soundstage that is too holographic is not natural. Music emanating from a live soundstage is never too deep or wide.
