3-Dimensional Soundstage

I have appreciated a quite nice separation of instruments in my system's soundstage.  I have read many times about people experiencing depth in their music and have never appreciated this.  I was talking to an audiophile friend this week about it and he brought up the fact that recorded music is a mix of tracks and how could there be any natural depth in this?  If there was a live recording then yes, it is understandable, but from all studio music that is engineered and mixed, where would we get depth?  Are the engineers incorporating delays to create depth?

I do know that my room is not acoustically optimized.  It is asymmetrical and open to a very large space.  I have auditioned a system in a local dealer in a small well treated room and the 2-dimensional aspect was definitely more impressive.  I didn't notice depth in my short demo.  I have not ever listened to quality headphones and all this makes me wonder sometimes how that would sound at a fraction of the cost and space LOL.
