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 third what "tapp" said....with emphasis on stands.

Dampened stands and KEF bookshelf speakers paired with dual subs will certainly create that 3D presentation you are looking for.

I use steel 4-post stands, with all posts filled with damping material. The speakers "disappear" when set up properly.
