Speakers and depth...

s,
speakers that sound distant compress the depth of field. they also sound deeper than they do, wide.
a speaker with a hole in the mids sounds distant. play a soloist in front of an orchestra on one of these speakers and it sounds like a distant wall of music.
play it on a speaker with a more uniform midrange and the soloist will sound closer to you. but the back of the orchestra and rear hall wall show much more contrast to the soloist as far as layering and ambient information is concerned. the stage width sounds more equal to the depth too.

How about a dipole or bipolar design?

increase your speaker distance from the front wall, if you can, and also remove items from in between the speakers, like equipment stands or TV's, if you can.

if you can make those modifications in speaker placement to your system and it still doesn't work, then perhaps it is time to purchase a new pair speakers or amplifier. you would be very surprised how much an amplifier can affect the sense of soundstage depth. if you do not have the ability to adjust your speaker placement due to other room-use constraints, then you are forced to compromise your system and shouldn't expect to achieve optimum performance from your system.

The improvement in soundstage lies in a change of speakers. You mention that the "room is good",so we can assume that battle against reflections has already been won.

I suggest the Morrison Audio point-source omni-directional Model 17: these speakers should quickly solve your problem. They deliver the richness and depth of a recording, and you'll know where all the instruments and vocalists are located.

Dipole or speaker with rear firing tweeter might be good.Look at Emerald Audio C2's a tweekgeak.com.Just wanted to add a bit with my list I just got a $1400 self amped pair of Quad 11l's and hey are fine (great deal on ebay $400 for $1400 list)Their 12L amped or larger 21/22 speakers are good values.Also in that list always thought NHT put out good lower end products ad hear new line is very good.If you want to pull speakers in for near field small collum speakers like Audio Physic Sparks are in that group.Same fo narrow totem Staff.II had a par of friends Sparks for a while and they had great sound ,different dispersion (really good for long wall) and were small and light so one could easily pull into room.
