Lowering the noise floor by having clean power through the mains will reveal air and ambience on the recording. Also vibration control on components and rack, and an acoustically treated room will reveal air and more in the recordings.
The PSB Imagine T2's are decent speakers which produce a wide and deep soundstage and are capable of disappearing. However, they are not very detailed. If you are not getting the desired effect from recordings, the problem may lie upstream or with your room acoustics.
Great answer by @folkfreak regarding setup of a system. And air can only be heard if it's in the recording. @ieales provides good comments about studio recording. The "air" and sense of space is artificially created by the engineer. But in a venue such as a church or the Musikverein concert hall there is natural reverb. But the end result of "air" and space on the recording is created by natural and artificial reverb, and only with proper mic'ing of acoustic instruments.
