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?

Try rewiring the Spica TC-50's with cardas wire and jacks, remove the felt from the front and they open up more but will be brighter.
I have found all the monotor speaker sI have demoed to have better imaginf than any floorstander I have demoed. The only exception being the Merlin VSM which is a two way floor stander that imaged like a stand moutn monitor.
This list would not be complete without talking about a pair of Verity Audio Fidelio's.
try listening to music in mono. good imaging is in the mix done at the studio, if it wasn't in the recording it won't be in the speakers, cd player or amp no matter how much money you spend.
I owned the SPICA TC 50 for ten years and even went out to the shop in new mexico.I still love them but when my pockets got deeper I searched for about one year for a speaker that eschews all the virtues of the TC 50 had better extension in bass,a more holographic mid and a smoother high frequency extension and it had to be very efficient for low watt tube amps.My search ended about 3 months ago when I purchased the REFERENCE 3A DECAPO i which is the latest iteration.The ability to demo them is weak so you will have to look and travel high and low to hear them but for anyone who loved the SPICAS like I did these DECAPOS are the heir apparent to that venerable design.Good luck and happy holidays.
