"Holographic" presentation

As with most hifi subjectivity, the proof is in the listener's pudding so to speak. Also, many (many) other factors not including the use of mono amps (dual mono? most well made stereo anything?) can have a profound effect on what basically is great stereo imaging where the players seem to be sitting in front of you in a defined group, or simply soundstaging at its best. Sound engineers either strive for a realistic soundstage or they don't...I complain about the 17 foot wide jazz drummers sometimes, but often I'm not bothered by that if the music is great.

This is what recording engineers do: Record things to their or the producer's or the artist's taste (mic selection, eq, possible compression, ambient information either natural or from devices), and pan each instrument to wherever they think it needs to go...little left, more middle, little right, lots of left, lots of right...that's it. Soundstage accomplished. Any decent stereo rig can reproduce this and if it's isolated (headphones or speakers stuck to your head) it can sound less "live" as in the actual world there is air and natural blending between speakers, as long as your ass sits between 'em. Tone, treble cues, bass nodes, yo mama, all differ.

I owned an amp years ago that featured pornographic imaging. It was creepy so I sold it.
