Which speaker has the biggest sound stage?

I tried out a Magnepan 1.7 a couple months ago, and I am a bit shock by the sound stage of it. It just feel live music. Although the bass is a bit lacking, I really like the "be there" feeling.

So, my question is, does all planar speaker (electrostatic, ribbon ... ) have such big sound stage? And with different brands and models, which one has biggest sound stage?

Specifically for Magnepan, the 3.6 is about $1000 more than 1.6. What are the major differences? and is it worth the extra money?

Texas,
You and Elizabeth should huddle together, start selling glue for Maggies.
What I said, to repeat, is that, in my 15 years of selling them, AND servicing older pairs, that it happened, "NOT ONCE".
I didn't say it couldn't happen. Elizabeth's post made it sound as if it's a common occurance, one she felt the need to publish a cautionary warning for...IME that didn't happen.

PS. Don't back stock a LOT of glue...

Good listening,
Larry

Marty,
Not only do we forgive you, (the headline reads as if it's a forum on soundstage) I personally agree with your comment 100%.
MBL's are the Soundstage Champs...

Good listening,
Larry

Lrsky , saying Elizabeth was "WRONG" was quite a strong statement. It might have been better just to say : in my 15 years experience this was never the case. And of course a second person had this experience. I enjoy reading your posts.
