Wires costing thousands of dollars makes sense. 
Has anyone in Mi.acheived holographic imaging?
Sure thing. Those are the things I have heard over the years that has probably most influenced my buying decisions. 
Sjofen The Clue speakers
The bass in there prior to the current setup on teh Isoacoustic stands was actually pretty much like the reviewer described with the Clues, there but not full throughout. Now it is amazingly so, the best ever with the Titus.Reviews of Titus I have... 
Sjofen The Clue speakers
The Isoacaoustic stands I am using with those are isolating stands. They made the difference for me set up low to the floor with slight upward tilt of tweets to ear level. Acoustics in that room are horrible. This speaker/stand combo is the only t... 
What speakers for 10k?
Magico Mini 2s are wonderful speakers but not end game if you want it all unless perhaps in a smaller room.Room size matters end game for a small room is much easier than for large. 
What speakers for 10k?
I can only speak for myself. My OHM F5s are it for me save perhaps OHM F5015s if I want to go nuts someday.I would be tempted by MBL if could be had for that price but would probably have a ripple effect and make me spend a lot more time and money... 
What is Musicality?
I recently acquired a recording of Healing Tibetian Bell "music". I use quotes because its more of sounds than any music I am familiar with it. I will give it a play over the weekend and see if it draws me in. If so, then I suppose it is "musical"

Has anyone in Mi.acheived holographic imaging?
Mesh, yes you reminded me the first time I heard a truly holographic demo was also with Dynaudio monitors set up very wide apart yet still with lots of space to front wall and modest space to side walls. I have been a huge Dynaudio fan ever since. 
Has anyone in Mi.acheived holographic imaging?
There is only one instance I recall over the years where I heard multiple sets of speakers set up in teh same room in different spots concurrently all do "holography" to the nth degree. That was at a local Tweeter store a few years back. One pair ... 
Passive radiator
In the late 70's, at Tech Hifi, among all the major speaker brands and models sold that I heard, my overall favorite for a somewhat larger room were the OHM Hs, one of just a few, and the only OHM that used a passive radiator. They were the ones t...

THese remind me so much from what I see and read of my Triangle Titus, even more so their bigger brothers, the Cometes. I'd be willing to bet that if in the review the speakers were set up More like this on low isolating stands closer to the flo...
