Can a system sound too Holographic?

@wsrrsw 

You were making sense until the last sentence.

@nonoise 

Thank you! I think the main reason that I have found many of thes posts so frustrating is that I can't believe what some members think that holographic means.

@ross6860 

What you're describing is not holography, because it has nothing at all to do with the loss of a center image, or any other image for that matter, quite the opposite. You seemed to be experiencing phase issues which are an entirely different thing.

@antialiased 

"IMO, No such thing as too holographic if all components are leveled matched."

Huh?

Once again, I think that there is a gross misunderstanding by several here about the meaning of holographic

@carlsbad2 

Understood. I also agree with @ghdprentice that while that type of holography is interesting, it's not something that's important to me. I care more about timbre and dynamics. Other things are secondary..

@carlsbad2

I would like to hear other opinions here about the meaning of "holographic", but I don’t agree with yours. I always understood it to mean three dimensional images of voices and instruments. I have only heard it in person twice. Once was a pair of Watt Puppy 5’s, and there did seem to be ghosts of the singer and the instruments in three-dimensional space, but overall, I didn’t like the sound as it was too thin.

As far as something being "too holographic", I can’t imagine what that person was hearing when he said it, but he was probably describing some other sonic anomaly and using the wrong word.
