Hi Waz, true "sonic holography" it is! Carver may have coined the term but Maggies truly deliver it.However, it is interesting how similar perceptions may mean different things to each person...my wife, in this case. One day I asked her to sit at the sweet spot and tell me where things were in the soundstage. This was to verify what I heard. I played a few pieces. She identified all the elements in positions and layers inside and outside the room as well as behind us, pretty much as I heard things. After a few pieces, it went something like this:
I ask: Where is that conga, dear?
"What, more? I am getting hungry. Ok, outside in the patio, toward the right side."
- right, and the Saxophone?
"Centered, midways behind the TV and the wall."
- right. Just two more to go. On this one, where is the first guitar?
"Right side, between the speaker and the corner."
- right, and the other guitar?
"Centered, midways behind the TV and the wall."
- good, and the audience?
"Most all extends left to right outside in the patio. Some of the whistling comes from close to the ceiling, behind us."
-right. Here's the last one. Where's this band?
"Marching from outside the left wall curving to the patio and ending outside the right wall"Perfect, we're done, I say. Then I add: Isn't this all impressive?
She looks at me kind of puzzled and says: "Huh! Aren't all surrounds systems supposed to do the same?"
Not really dear. In any event, this is not the surround system. It is just the two Maggies.
With her most impassive tone: "Whatever. Are you ordering the pizza now?"
