Which speakers do the hologram thing?


Some reviewers talk about how speakers can produce a 3-D image so convincing that it seems one can "walk amongst the performers" or "sense the air between performers," or they may say how "each musician appears to occupy a solid space," etc. I'm not certain I have heard this. In your experience which spekers have this ability?

Point taken, Sean....I've heard the tannoy churchills disappear, which, considering their bulk, is impressive. Also heard the original snell J's running on the SF control amp with a little rotel 855cd....the rear basement wall just disappeared and music had depth out to the sidewalk and back.....it was scary....also heard my newforms with Single ended triode preamp[remember the N.E.W.?] and a group of us who were listening alll thought it was a religious experience. It was all music, the speakers simply were not there....it is more than just the speakers from what I've heard....But I've also heard little nears, the 10's disappear....in fact, my niece bought mine.....
Sean. The newform ribbons go down to only about 1000 althought in my dr-8-2's I read the crossover was about 900 to two peerless 8" drivers. The back of the heavy ribbons are monopolar. The ribbons have a very small acoustic profile from 1khz up. The ribbon is 3-1/4" wide by 2-1/2" deep. It is heavily bevelled at the front of the structure. The newform ribbons is a very interesting design. A friend of mine who likes my newforms very much owns original quads driven by audio inovations.....
