Holographic imaging

Shadorne,
Agreed, the bigger a-Capellas though will give you a very natural sound, but they are expensive. I found that the Sound Lab U-1PX makes for a good compromise. They have good dynamics and dispersion and if properly placed, image very well.

AudioKinesis responds: Kindly refrain from making "straw man" arguments. That's where you attribute to the other person something that he did not actually say, and then argue against it.

Audiokinesis, you say,"Years ago one of Stereophile's writer offered some perspective that I think is worth passing along, only I can't find the exact quote. But it went something like this:"I am not so much interested in WHERE the musicians are on the stage as I am in WHY they are on the stage."

Perhaps, I misunderstood why you quoted this.

No strawman argument here.

Tbg, I can see now how you misunderstood me.

Holographic localization of sound sources is not part of live music under most circumstances, but natural timbre and dynamics certainly are. Now I have nothing against holographic imaging, but it has never been part of my experience of "real music", so like the Stereophile writer I do not give it equal priority with other things like natural timbre and dynamics.
