Bookshelf speakers that renders 3D soundstage


Recently I am on a quest to find a pair of bookshelf speakers under $2k that will render 3D soundstage.  The soundstage does not need to be much wider than the speakers that are approximately 7-8 ft apart but, within the soundstage, I am particularly looking for the decent depth, focus image and pinpoint instrument/vocal separation.  The other sound trait I am particularly looking for is the nimble, agile bass that could go down to around 45 Hz -3dB.  The pairing amplification is going to be Parasound A23.  If you have experienced / auditioned that, please let me know.

I have to second the QAcoustics 3030i. The sound stage on these are 5 feet past the speakers left and right. The depth is ok but the width is exceptional with my Rega Elicit-R and Denafrips Ares II . I also have Revel 105M speakers and although the sound detail and clarity is slightly better, the Revels do not match the QAcoustics soundstage at 4 times the cost. The bass response is quite good on both.
