You have gotten a lot of genuinely terrible advice from people that I'm guessing have never heard a truly high end system. Assuming you can pull the speakers at least 60" from the back wall almost any panel speaker will be much more holographic than box speakers at an equivalent price point. In particular, a used pair of Magnepan 3.7s, or even better the 20.7s are inexpensive and simply terrific. Electrostatics also have some real virtues when it comes to soundstage, holographic imaging and transparency. Downside is you do need very good high powered amplification. Panel speakers also have relatively narrow sweet spots so not the best if you are planning on listening with friends or family. Open baffle speakers have never had any depth in my room so missing that 3D holographic quality but otherwise are also quite good. Kef Blades have great imaging but I dislike the way they sound. If all you care about is imaging you can pick up a used pair of Klipsch RP 600M IIs for $300 that will blow you away with the level of detail and imaging but they aren't that involving in my opinion. The Klipsch Forte's, Heresy's and Cornwall's I've heard don't have what you are looking for despite their other merits. And do keep in mind your room is almost as important as the speakers when it comes to how the system sounds and images. At the end of the day it is all about your ears and your room. You should definitely go to T.H.E. show in June. Go to the Final Audio room. I get you will be amazed at the sound vs price point.
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
