How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?

"To that end I think to some imaging is everything. It's often the mark of a better system - rarely do very good/ well put together systems - lack in this respect."



That is so true; once I got "holography" tone and timbre were truer. Not one component did I change, not even did I move one speaker; it was all done through room treatment; but don't forget, that was after 30 years of upgrading components and trying for a better image.

If there is anyone here who has not made at least one room treatment, raise your hand?

Those cherished bass frequencies mess everything up; that's the place to start by placing bass traps in the corners.

I feel like a grade school teacher speaking to a high school class on this post, and I hope that's the case.

Falconquest, I looked over the reviews and specs on your speakers; they sound good, and if I had a spare 5K, I would give them a try. BTW, that's a good price for what they claim to deliver; which is holography that doesn't necessitate a lot of expensive room treatment. (my room treatment is not expensive, and neither is it attractive, but it works)

I think it is extremely important. I think most recording artists (vs ‘live performers) intentionally work to create excellent holographic images.

...Hendrix, Pink Floyd, NIN. 

My system will put sounds in your head, behind your head, right next to your ear and sometimes 12 feet away from one of the speakers. 

Wicked cool.

we are looking forward to your initial thoughts and then hopefully a review of the Spatials when they arrive.
