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

I wonder if your idea of holographic has some relation to refinement. I owned the SP501's and say they were more refined and can get you deeper into the music (YMMV) than the Cornwalls (owned those too).

Another thing to maybe consider is- I prefer a narrow baffle speaker to wider baffle typically. I've always thought the narrow gave a more layered stage than the more powerful and maybe dynamic throw of wide baffle.

Finally, also take a look at Devore Super Nines (can be a bit too lively for some) and something from Verity (more of that laid back refinement that I could relate to with the Fyne's

Finally, finally the Fynes don't seem to hold redale as well as some other brands, so if you are going to bounce around a bit consider that too.
