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
"A consideration that none have mentioned is soundstage height. A tall speaker like a planar magnetic or electrostat can convey (artificially) soundstage height. For example, the high frequencies of the cymbals of a drum kit will be at a realistic height, while the bass drum will come from lower in the speaker." Nothing else like quite it! |
@toddalin that's a bunch of horse bull |
Obviously you can’t tell from a video where the mic is set at one height and you are listening on ???. But the video shows the speakers and how the placement of the drivers is very similar to that of what one experiences with a drum set. Lower frequencies manifest closer to the floor while the sizzle is much higher, and actually at about the correct height for a drum kit.
In the room, you would think there is a drummer sitting there playing. And he can play as loud, undistorted, as anyone could desire. |
