Can a system sound too Holographic?


Hi friends :)

So I got a question for those interested. For me, having a 2 channel system with a Holographic soundstage is very desirable.

I bring this up because I had lent some Centerstage 2 footers ( isolation devices) to a friend to try out. To make a long story short, he likes what they are doing under his Lumin T3, however he mentioned that it might be "Too Holographic". I don't know about you guys and gals, but that wouldn't really be a problem for me. Your thoughts or experiences please. Anyone experience a soundstage that was too Holographic?

good point @roxy54

i remember several years back, i bought a preamp from a nice older gentleman locally, he insisted i come in to hear his system, of which he was very proud

i sat there, big focals driven by $15000 mcintosh hybrids, in a beautiful home in classic styling... then he played music, it was all phasey, sound coming from the sides, hole in the middle -- so looked at his cabling, sure enough one speaker had black on red and vice versa... i asked him to sit down, i swapped the connection... asked him how he liked the sound, his face turned red, he said, ’’whaddidja do? holy moly’ ... he was more than a little embarrassed, but happy and thankful ... lol
