How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?


I’m wondering how many A’goners consider a holographic image a must for them to enjoy their systems?  Also, how many achieve this effect on a majority of recordings?
Is good soundstaging enough, or must a three dimensional image be attained in all cases.  Indeed, is it possible to always achieve it?

Sound quality is the most important thing for me.
Violins should have a sheen but a solid core sound, like the real thing, bass should have subtle articulations, drums should have attack and resonance.
After the actual sound quality, holographic imaging and transparent air (very much tied in with sound quality) are most important.
But if the actual sounds are not both realistic and pleasing to me, holography is useless.
