I attend classical concerts about five or six times a season. A holographic sound stage is not what I first notice or enjoy about the sound of a live orchestra.
A few years ago I read a book which attempts to describe sound in the home and how to make it more like a real musical event. The adjectives used to describe the sound in successful systems were: Tone, Dynamics, and Presence.
This fairly closely describes what it is that I hear at the symphony and what I now value and try to recreate in my home system. Soundstaging is nice and it does exist to some extent, but it is not what I focus on when listening to live music or to my system.
The book is Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound."
