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.

roxy, you really need to give more info on your room and speaker placement.  While, yes, the recording has much to do with how much depth can be reproduced, speaker placement is the single biggest thing that will re-create what is on the recording.  You do not need expensive gear to do this.  In a prior small audio room I had, the speakers were nearly half way out into the room with the seat near the rear wall.  Depth was very very impressive.  A trumpet recorded at a distance would extend way beyond the front wall--at least that was the illusion that was created.  Any other things you do will be very minor in comparison.
