Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals..


As far as 3-d imaging on vocals...I found only a handful...namely Spendors,Vandersteens,and older Spica tc-50s that I used to own capable of doing this...and this includes auditioning Maggies,Thiels,Revels,Logans, and too many more to mention...any thoughts?

it takes more than just speakers. you need to have some damn good upstream components (class A amp helps too). oh, and a great room helps.

rockports do it. merlins do it. acapellas do it.

rhyno
Agree with you on the Vandersteen's, Spendors and Spica's. Would add the Quad ESL-63 and Proac Response Series.
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 every amp I used with the tc-50s....I believe it has more to do with speaker design than electronics....a speaker either has "it" or it doesnt in my opinion
Try smaller sized speakers, or add the medium-sized A-Physics to your list. Also the Genesis line, 501 & up, larger Harbeths, the biggies in the Tannoy TD line.
But, my experience tallies with the above: good placement & electronics do help...
Most single-driver speakers and electrostatics will image very very well, not only on vocals, but on everything else also. As was stated above, the upstream components are very important to this.
