Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals..
I have heard the Maggie 1.6s on several occasions..and Im probably going to take some heat for this..but as impressive as they are... dont quite have the 3-d "magic" on vocals that Spicas,Spendors, or Vandersteens have...I am by no means "bashing"... 
And what do Maggies sound like near a wall......
Maggies are by no means "space savers"....you defeat the purpose of a dipole design when placed close to walls...and to be honest...no speaker is going to sound their best 1ft from a rear wall...you need space to create depth...that being said...i...

Sonic Differences Between 2-Way and 3-Way Speakers
Unsound...well put...an amp plays the speakers...speakers play the room... 
Sonic Differences Between 2-Way and 3-Way Speakers
Socrates...although bass is important...specs can be misleading...I have heard speakers rated considerably lower than my Quad 12Ls(45hz) that sound lean,hollow,and thin...the new Meadolark Swifts (35hz) being one of them...on paper the Swift shoul... 
Sonic Differences Between 2-Way and 3-Way Speakers
For most...2-ways in a small room...such as hi end Brit monitors...are really the most cost effective way to get coherent sound and precise imaging (even with the lack of bass argument)...decent 3-ways really start with the Vandy 3 series...and as... 
The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto
My favorite power pop of the 80s? The Jesus and Mary Chain..."Psychocandy" is a flat out masterpiece....Beach Boy melodies...Velvet Underground fuzz guitar...and Ramones level energy(Ramones being the best power pop band of the 70s...they were mor...

Lips Fans...there is an older EP(not LP) with a simple,sparkling,silver type of cover...that i have been trying to find on wax or CD for years...it is the most feedback and noizy the Lips ever got...what is the TITLE...and is it still available...... 
What speakers for $5K Used?
Vandersteen 3as are well below 5k used...but performance wise...sound like 5k and up speakers...if you have the room and can properly set them up...they can sound very,very good....you can spend more...much more...and still get less... 
Sonic Differences Between 2-Way and 3-Way Speakers
A simple well designed 2-way offers a more coherent,transparent, 3-d midrange image...they dont have the low end of a 3-way in general...but 90% of music falls into the midrange frequencies...do the math... 
What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K
Hi-end purists would disagree...but Paradigm Reference series towers...such as the 100...are very good for rock...and their out of box imaging is good enough for classical,jazz,etc...a bit "hot" in the treble...but a very good all arounder with de... 
What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K
For rock...there is no need for 5k speakers...let alone 20k...but if you want to spend that kind of money...Snell or Dunlavy would come to mind...Klipsch are very efficient...but for critical listening ...they are very "boxy"...Axiom makes a very ... 
Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals..
electronics do play a role..but even with my Spicas and an older SX series Pioneer receiver...imaging did not improve with either a musical fidelity or arcam amp...there was more detail and better bass control...but 3-d imaging was obtainable with...

The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto
In most regards...after the Stones and Beatles...everyone else is trying not to embarrass themselves...however..some artists are better at this than the others...if you are fortunate enough to have a good, full range system...Photek,Massive Attack...
