SPATIAL HOLOGRAM M2 Turbo - Steven Stone’s pick for best affordable sound at Chicago Axpona.
_____________________________________________________________________________
The Hologram M2 is an achievement in sound reproduction. It created a 3D, completely natural presentation with an utterly realistic soundstage reproduction and massive dynamics. All in a small, modern design. The aluminum composite, open-baffle design frees you from boxy, compressed sound at last. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Unveiled at Axpona Chicago 2014 last week, thousands of audiophiles experienced the new Hologram design for the first time. The Spatial room was constantly packed with showgoers eager to hear what all the fuss was about. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Steven Stone of the Absolute Sound Magazine remarked: The Best Sound (For the Money) – It was a dead heat between the Emerald Physics CS3 mark II ($3500US/pr) and the Spatial Hologram M2 ($2,000US/pr) rooms. Clayton Shaw designed both speakers which conquered their hotel room sonic shortcomings with aplomb. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Part Time Audiophile’s Scot Hull was at Axpona:
As to the sound … well. This is one of those moments when you’re forced to scratch your head and wonder aloud, with a giant WTF bubble over your head, as to why all those other rooms were having such trouble. Here, the presentation felt accurate, linear, and remarkably open. No bloom or boom. Sitting in the sweet spot, I heard nothing out of place or out of character. I’m certain I’d opt for the Turbo, myself, and I’m quite sure there’s even more room for a Twin Turbo version, with even more mo’ betta parts. But here’s the kicker — that price is not irrelevant. $2k? Seriously? It’s like wandering into a Bang and Olufsen showroom and being told that they just decided to take a zero off the end of the price because Reasons. Your only valid response is to say, “Rock On.” And if that was a little opaque, let me make this clear — this was a very convincing demo. Yowza. Me likey.
The Hologram M2 Turbo is a breakthrough design that is completely passive. No DSP or bi-amping is required for its operation. The M2’s extremely high sensitivity of 100dB allows the use of most any amplifier and allows the recreation of your music’s entire dynamic envelope. Available in White or Black finishes. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
