Holographic means that the music isn't rooted to the speakers, but instead seems to be originating from specific areas where the musicians and singers are arranged throughout the soundstage of your listening room -- especially between and outside your speakers -- in the best
cases, there is air between them and you can imagine some closer to
you and some further away -- the proverbial deep and wide soundstage.
But, holographic means the musicians and singers appear throughout the soundstage almost like holograms.
Maybe we should all plug our ears so Bob Carver will stop making us
hear what we hear. Damn that Bob!!! Okay, that was sarcasm. Doesn't matter who coined the term, "rain" -- when it falls on you, you get just as wet. Same with imaging. Further, I don't think Bob invented Holograms -- it was obviously a borrow. Just like most phrases used to describe what one hears. Few people know that *I* actually invented the phrase, "damn, this sounds GOOD!" So, anytime someone hears something that sounds good, it proves what enormous influence *I* have. Damn, if I had just patented that phrase....
