A deeper more holographic soundstage.

I was wondering by what means you have created a deeper soundstage. I am satisfied with the width but I really feel it is a bit 2 dimensional. It doesn't go back far enough. I like more layers of sound that reach towards you from the blackness.
As I've already spent quite a bit on my system I am unable to buy much more expensive components.
Did you upgrade one component that made the difference? Placement of speakers? New footers or tweaks such as Stillpoints?
Two subs instead of one(I have one)? Different placement of subs? I am working with a very tight space so it is difficult to move things without them being in the center of the room.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My soundstage increased to where I wanted it upon the following:
Upgraded to an incredibly good preamp (Jeff Rowland Criterion); upgraded speaker cables to the best I could afford.  That gave me the depth and then the cables shaped the rear of the soundstage and gave it the definition.  I then added 6 Hemoltz Resonators (Vicoustic Bass Traps) and that took out any bass smudge that was taking away from the definition of the depth of the sound stage.  I then upgraded my turntable, arm and phone stage and it just spotlighted all of the information from front to back with gobs of music.
