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
@julessg13th the best speakers for well defined 3d sound stage are the ones that really know what they are doing with respect to crossovers and driver to driver coherency. among the best i have heard or owned KEF ls50, R series, reference series. Joseph Audio Pulsars Harbeth any model Spendor A series, D series, classics Bowers and Wilkins Diamond series monitors

Are oxymoron and stupid words that are necessary in response to an OP? Somehow I knew what julesg13th was trying to communicate, and didn't feel the need to insult his use of a word. Why are there so many imperious jerks on this forum? That is a better question.

OP, Are you determined to buy a pair of new speakers? It sounds like it. Your choices would be ten times greater if you decide to buy used. There are great speakers out there that don't get a lot of respect. If Escondido isn't too far, go listen to Acoustic Zen speakers. Well above your price range unless you buy used. I've never been burned doing so. Good luck. Joe |
Sonic holography is a trait of object based/multichannel audio (Sony's 360 reality, auro 3d, dts x, atmos, some of Yamaha's stuff, etc). Channel based purist stereo (or even legacy channel based multichannel) doesn't fall in that category. You might be thinking that some forward prominence in presence region/vocals or even some odd phasey things going in some stereo mixes is holographic. When you hear real holographic sound, you'll know it...it could be like being on drugs perhaps. Nevertheless, a concentric driver design like the Fyne could be a conducive speaker when you get to the holography ecosystem someday or not. |
