Holographic imaging

Unsound,

I've heard Ohm CLSs outdoors and they sound best, very close to lifelike, with just a single wall behind them. They also tend to like larger rooms in order to have sufficient "room to breathe".

True omni's should not be placed close to walls from what I hear.

One advantage of the Ohm pseudo-omni design (for two channel stereo systems they are physically attenuated with sound absorbent material inside the "cage" in the wall facing directions as I believe you know) is that they can be placed within 2-3 feet of walls where they tend to sound much like more conventional box speakers with very wide dispersion and the huge soundstage.

Tvad, you know from our previous exchanges that I have used tube traps, RPG diffusors, Room Lens, acoustic mirrors, LEDE, and Holographs, one pair of which I still use. I have tried digital corrections also. I have had tube traps. I have used Combac and Marigold dots on the walls, I have used MD Brilliant Pebbles, Shun Mook Mpingo disks, and recently Acoustic Revive guartz products. Once I even had the Cello analog equalizer. The rug never proved very important for the good or bad. You knew all of this so why did you post?

Tbg,

You write in your post:
"I had excellent imaging and close to realism."
Could you please expound what you mean by the term "realism".
Are you reminded of what you remember to have heard on several occasions at live events with similar kinds of music or do you have a sort of fixed engram in you what live music of any kind in any given venue would sound like?

Have you ever, being familiar with a concert venue and having heard music there, compared exactly the same music, recorded at the same venue, with what you heard at home with exactly that recording?

Just curious.
