1) Are planar speakers the best option to obtain an holographic, 3D image sound?? It is said that this is the best attribute of the panels speakers. Can the horns (or any other technology) compete in this aspect??
Either technologies can meet your desires. However, it will be highly dependent on the room and set up. Generally, horns are easier as they can be placed closer to the wall whereas panel speakers usually require being placed further out in the room to sound their best.
2) Horns are really efficient speakers. Can panels compete in this aspect?? It's possible to drive panels with few watts from valve amps??
In a word no. Panels generally require most powerful SS amps. Because horns are more efficient, tube amps can be used. Horns also tend to be more dynamic.
3) Are panels compatible with low level volumes??
I don't know. My horns have the same imaging characteristics for the most part at low volumes. Of course, most speakers do bloom with a bit more power.
4) It is said that panels are really difficult speakers to place in the room?? I know that they can't be near a wall but are they really problematic speakers to obtain the 100% of them??
The biggest difficulty is having a large enough room to bring the panels out into the room.
5) Everyone is talking lately about Alsyvox speakers. Alsyvox is the brand of the Italian Daniele Coen. Curiously this brand is based on my country, Spain. I can't hear yet them personally. What is the general opinion about this speakers?? Someone has heard them??
Yes, I did hear them at the RMAF show some years ago. You can see my thoughts about Alsyvox in the link. You'll notice that they were placed in the middle of the room and you know that they're quite expensive. Not being a big panel fan, we all still thought that these were one of the overall best of the show.

6) Alsyvox ribbon pannels are really expensive. In general panels are less expensive than other speakers technologies but "curiously" it's not the case with Alsyvox. It is justified this price??
The high end, full range panels are tend to be expensive.
7) Any speaker recommendation?? I' m looking to speakers to die for. I want the most holographic experience compatible with low level volumes. Any recommendation would be appreciated. I'm open to any technology/brand??
If you wanted to find used speakers, there are many Altecs that might fit your needs, VOT A7/500, Valencia, Model 19. The Klipsch Heritage series may be found at dealers in Spain.
Good luck.
