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
Yes, I have a dedicated room I am treating. Yes i am trying to demo as much as I can. I feel I need to buy sooner than later because it won't be long until the tariff's are going to affect the pricing of everything. I was really hoping to demo the Ascend Acoustic ELX towers but they don't have any availible to demo at the moment. Are there any speakers in my price point you might steer me towards? I forgot to mention i've also demoed Kef R11's.

A few things that would help for recommendations.
Also, are you open to planar speakers like Magnepans or electrostatics (i.e. Martin Logan). If you have a "smaller" size room, you might want to check out Totem Hawks or Forest, and the Wind model for larger rooms. - Jeff |
@julesg13th yum I'd say go demo. Do not take any anecdote here as gospel. Go demo with your music. And holographic in a 2 channel system is an oxymoron.
These videos explain why: Video 1 - https://youtu.be/FHjy0ZV0V7U?si=8X34gUvLvy_GfQ9t

Watch these so you temper expectations. Go demo the 888

@kofibaffour holographic is a stupid word, in the audio buzzword vocabulary which is full of BS anyway |
