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

@oceanandmountains Devores can have an incredible amount of texture and beautiful tone. There is a certain wholeness to the presentation, much more than just frequencies blending together. You need the right room and amps.

So much better than Klipsch speakers and really hard to beat if you like them. The build quality is great and the company is out of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. 

The Klipsch speakers are dynamic and fun, but not nearly as refined or engaging IMO. The build of Klipsch is cheap. The packaging in one time, that’s why they sell less than 50% locally. Looks like what Tannoy is doing. Fyne is a little better but those guys that ran Tannoy know how to cut corners too. They aren't in it like Devore is, for the music. You really have to listen, especially when the designs are so different,

Vandersteens can throw a holographic stage if properly set up. 

Some of the best in the business.

Great job getting off your rear to demo speakers- the best way to determine what personally resonates with you.  Congratulations!

Another vote for Magnepan 3.7i speakers.   I have owned more speakers than I care to admit and the Magnepan's are simply incredible in the imaging and soundstage department.   Avalon's are great as well.

@julesg13th...  Just wondering. It's been some time now how is it working out?
 
Because what led me to read all of this is I am in the same boat that you were. And I have Magnepan.  I have LRS+ and they are pretty much what everyone described them to be. But I'm wanting something a little more dynamic a little more exciting, a little more fun! And if I go through everything that you went through and still end up with the Maggie's I'll guess I'll just have to be OK.
 
But I don't think so. Right now I'm leaning toward JBL HDI 3600. But I'm also very intrigued by the.Fyne F502sp.  So tell me what you think and how is it going? Thanks.
