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

@julesg13th well you didn't invent the word and I didn't mean it in an offensive way. 3D, Imaging and soundstage makes more sense to me. Holographic implies visual and we won't see the drummer and singers. But we can hear where they are - kind of |
For what it's worth, I have experienced three dimensional "holography only twice myself, and both times it was with ProAc speakers. Once was the stand mounted Response 2 and the other time was (I think) the Response 3.5. It was in two different showrooms. It's not a high priority for me, but it was very impressive. |
Well that’s just simply not true as you’ve obviously already found — some speakers absolutely produce an effortless, expansive 3D or “holographic” soundstage better than others. Some I’ve found in your price range new that excel at this are the Joseph Audio Profile, ProAc D20, Totem Tribe or Forest, and Usher Dancer Mini-Two. If you’re open to used I’d add the Vandersteen Treo CT as well. I’d think you’d be able to demo several of these in the LA area and highly encourage you to go hear as many of them as possible. Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
