Holographic imaging

If one says: "Wow, your amplifier sounds very holographic and 3D, far more holographic than my amplifier, which sounds a bit flat" --> then this mean that the holographic sounding amplifier sucks? Sometimes I'm confused about this issue. If "holographic" or "3D" sound is an artifact, then an amplifier should sound "flat", because that is closer to the truth (and the truth is far more "flat" than many audiophiles are accustomed to)?

If these "doppler" errors are indeed there, and are "microscopic" how does one determine where they occur, read them at each occuring stage, and how is their (I'm assuming) delicate effect, effectively corrected and how is that delicate(?) correction calibrated at each stage?
In regard to the effect of moving the listening position in a typical listening room, I would guess that the issues of the sound changing due to the change in effect the room would have, and the issues of driver intergration might swamp the effect of such "doppler" issues.

"then an amplifier should sound "flat", because that is closer to the truth"

You lost me on this. Why do you think "flat" is closer to "the truth"?

What "truth" are you referring to?

Musicians perform and sound waves propagate in 3 dimensions last time I checked?

Not that "holographic" necessarily equates to truth either, but I can't see how "flat" could be closer to the real truth either.

Your not just yanking our chains for fun, are you?
