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 loved the Mofi 888s and made me feeling something when listening to music, but not sure I’d call them holographic. I think Focal Sopra No2 (if you can used stretch your budget a little for a used pair) sounded the most holographic.  Fritz Carbon 7 Mk 2 speakers sounded holographic as well (correction: just read your comment that your ceilings are 17ft high, so for that I would not recommend these. They'll sound too thin and just not loud enough) I demoed them but think it was paired with a 300b tube amp.  I’m hoping to demo the Fyne Audio if I can find a dealer for them.  Another good speaker is the Focal Kanta No2. They'll fill a room with high ceilings.

Also consider 300b tube amp like a Brunoco or even an KT88/EL34 by Skunkie Designs. if you truly want a holographic sound.  But not sure about how this type of amp will do with high the ceilings

IMHO of course.
