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

Based upon what you listen to, your room and budget, I would strongly suggest Volti Razz. I’m absolutely smitten with mine. IMO for the money there’s nothing I heard when looking to buy 2 years ago that even came close to the power, dynamics, imaging and tonal correctness. Owned. Pair of Klipsch Heresy 4 and they were very good, but at times fatigue set in. Lifelong fan of British brands like TDL, Mission, Tannoy. I was in the fence for a bit, Volti Razz or Tannoy Cheviots. The customer service, the overall sound and the fit and finish of the Volti won me over. 
when I attended Axpona 2025 I walked away from most rooms feeling my set up sounded better to me. (Compromised hotel room listening and all the challenges aside). I did really like the DeVore towers a lot, all the Fyne’s I heard were great, and the PS audio Aspen 5s were wonderful stand mounts. 
But for me there’s nothing better than my Volti Razz. They sound equally great at high or low volume. You might have guessed, I’m a fanboy. So what

T.H.E. Show is coming to Costa Mesa in June.  There will be lots of offerings, though not cheap.

You want to hear soundstage/imaging?  Come on by for a listen.  I'm in Orange County 10 miles north of the John Wayne Airport.

You can hear the Mermans that I've put together (JBL 18"/JBL 9.7"/Modified AMT), or my one-off Super Big Reds, or...

Last year at THE Show, I didn't hear anything that imaged any better than the Mermans, and most nowhere near as well.

I think the Martin Logan electrostatics are tough to beat for a real 3D sort of sound field.  At your price point you could get Classic 9’s new or 11A’s used…..I’ve a set of classic 9’s in a smaller but highly treated space and I think the experience is quite amazing. 

I demoed most of the speakers you mention and bought a pair of Charney Companions. They were the most realistic in terms of three dimensional imagery. These speakers are out of your price range unless you can find a used pair but Brian makes a smaller speaker that sells around your price.
