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?

If a holographic soundstage is part of the recording, too holographic has never been a problem for me. If the system is generating it, then yes....I suppose too much could happen and would be less desirable, but I can think of worse traits.

Yeah...if he said, it was too bright, too forward or added an metallic sheen to everything then I could understand that being an issue. But he claims he is trying to get use to it. We shall see lol

Audio is a journey that often has a different route and destination for different people. A lot of systems add significant coloration that might be perceived as "pleasant" by some. Not my cup of tea, but I can certainly understand how someone might enjoy it, and might not want to know the audio truth that could interfere with their enjoyment of the music. My wife for example! 😉
