I remember going to one of the hifi shows a few years back - can't remember whether it was Heathrow or Bristol, but Cabasse were demonstrating their Atlantique speakers. These looked like the tailfin of a Boeing 747, with a point source tweeter ball thingie. They were about 8 feet tall! My wife was captivated by the three dimensional sound of the solo violin - it certainly was amazing (and in a hotel room at a Show). Very impressed - but they were about �100,000 around ten years ago. The most holographic imaging I ever heard was from Quad ESL63s, powered by some classic American something like a KSA100. Maybe for my non Meridian system upstairs...
