For what it's worth, I have experienced three dimensional "holography only twice myself, and both times it was with ProAc speakers. Once was the stand mounted Response 2 and the other time was (I think) the Response 3.5. It was in two different showrooms. It's not a high priority for me, but it was very impressive.
Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair
Hello,
I am currently shopping for a whole new system. I demoed Klipsch Cornwall's and Fyne 502SP's. They were both great in their own regard however I was won over by the Fyne Audio 502SP's because of the holographic illusion they were able to generate. I demoed them with a Music Fidelity M6si amp and Bluenote Icon streamer.
They are currently at the top of my list but this is a big investment and I want to make sure I do my due diligence before pulling the trigger.
I am interested to know if there are any other speakers in this price range i should be checking out before making my decision? I listen to a wide variety of music including electronic, classic rock, indy rock, hip-hop, orchestral music etc...
In addition to the holographic nature of the 502SP's I also liked the clarity and punch they gave. I have read about the Ascend Audio ELX towers, Mofi 888's and Tannoy Arden's, but only seem to be able to set up a demo of the Mofi 888's which i plan on doing soon. I live in the LA area if that helps.
Thanks for your help

Well that’s just simply not true as you’ve obviously already found — some speakers absolutely produce an effortless, expansive 3D or “holographic” soundstage better than others. Some I’ve found in your price range new that excel at this are the Joseph Audio Profile, ProAc D20, Totem Tribe or Forest, and Usher Dancer Mini-Two. If you’re open to used I’d add the Vandersteen Treo CT as well. I’d think you’d be able to demo several of these in the LA area and highly encourage you to go hear as many of them as possible. Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
@julesg13th I didn’t mean bad with my comment and I hope you take time to watch the video. But yes I’d say go demo the speakers or if you can get the speakers in your space even for a fee to demo, that is the ideal thing.
Also get the speakers in your space before doing any treatment. Treatment needs to be targeted and to be targeted a speaker must couple with your room first
Regardless I'm happy you're going about this the correct way making sure you getting the room to fit the speaker as those the biggest factors as to how you're hearing them.
Amp, DAC and every other tinkering that will be done won't come close to the effect of good speaker/room coupling and placement correctness |
