Can a high end sound from mid-level gear?


This is more of a two part question for the techphiles:

1) Can a three dimensional soundstage be achieved on any gear, or is it limited to high dollar equipment?

2) If so, how? If not, why not?

I know this may open pandoras box, but I would love to hear what experience has to offer.

Thanks

Thanks for the responses, but they led to another question. Can anyone recommend a definate and RELIABLE source that will give me the basic do's and don'ts for system setup, room setup, listening posistion, speaker position, etc. I've found a number of sites online that offer just enough info to get you hooked...and this all. I've been reading the Absolute Sound and have managed to pick up a handful of tips, but I need more!

Any suggestions?
