If you get the Klipsch you won't have to be worried about tariffs.
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

The most holographic speakers i have heard in my life are the Omega SAM's they put a huge sound scape that envelopes you in the listening space. I've yet to find a speaker that can do what they did for sound staging. They have other issues though and do need subs to flesh out the bottom end and in the wrong set up can sound a bit shouty. but properly set up they win the holographic sound stage award. second would be the smaller stand mount BBC monitor types like the Proac Tablets, LS's etc. again need bass reinforcement. and wont rock out well. |
@fatdaddy2 i listened to Klipsch Cornwalls, they weren’t very holographic. I still liked them but the Fyne’s blew them out of the water. |
Los Angeles has a lot of great stores. A friend of mine in the audio business is coming out with a new open baffle speaker. That thing sounded great when I heard his working prototype. He is in Ventura. I am going see if I can hear maybe the final version the following week once I quit my current job. Send me a DM if you want address. My friend was blown away by my Yamaha NS5000 speakers that you can get open box for $9k. The comments I heard from him on this speaker have a lot of relevance to me since he is known for the great gear he makes (and his hearing). The NS5000 does everything with a high degree of sophistication (including soundstage). The biggest soundstage I have heard are the Maggies and the KEF Blade. Though the driver on the NS5000 is better than anything else I have heard. It has details like Beryllium drivers but also an analog sound.
