orpheus, I agree that speaker placement is a big deal in regard to sound stage reproduction. Spent many hours experimenting with them in the past. They are staying where they are at for now. System sounds great & I'm leaving the cloth over the art (the cloth itself is art so I'm not losing anything there) until I'm done evaluating it.
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
I’m wondering how many A’goners consider a holographic image a must for them to enjoy their systems? Also, how many achieve this effect on a majority of recordings?
Is good soundstaging enough, or must a three dimensional image be attained in all cases. Indeed, is it possible to always achieve it?

Boxer, I have 2x4 styrofoam sheets taped to my sliding glass patio door that I bought from home depot, and it's working quite well; but as you know, room treatment was not the intended purpose. I'm simply going to think "Styrofoam" for the time being and go from there. Thicker styrofoam covered in speaker cloth with a frame could be made attractive. |

Holography is nice but not a must. My system images very well and that's enough to keep me seated for hours at a time. I have a garage system comprised of a set of Advents I refoamed and recapped powered by a Sansui SA-7500 integrated with a tablet running Spotify that will give me just as much enjoyment at times. The Advents are hung from the rafters. |
