Speakers that can reveal orchestral instruments' positions


Can you tell the positions of instruments in orchestra from your favorite orchestral music CD/SACD/LP/...?
For example, horns and percussion from the back and strings from the front?
Telling the left and right positions are not that hard, but the front and back? 
If your answer is convincing yes, could you tell me about your speakers/amps/source/cartridge and the recording?
I could feel a little bit of 3D imaging on my Apogee Diva, but not as much as I could when I listen to orchestral music from live concerts. I feel far less from my Harbeth C7es and Tyler Linbrook signature systems.

Thanks for all replies.
Tvad, you are right. I don't get lucky most times to have a mid center seat in concerts. Newbee, you are right. I should just enjoy music, rather than thinking about instruments position.
Mozartfan, I like my Tyler, and I had pretty much enjoyed its sound. But I was still not quite satisfied with full orchestration classical music. Then, I bought Diva from my friend, and there was no comparison to Apogee Diva in terms of sound stage and true color of acoustic instruments and human vocals. I like my Harbeth too, and it does pretty good on acoustic instruments, jazz and vocals, but still it lacks much in sound stage and details of full orchestration music compared to Diva.
Well, it may not be a fair comparison because Diva is in a different league. 
Sadly I sold my Diva due to occasional buzz and it was just too big, and then I started missing Diva.
My main gears are Plinius SA102, M16, Esoteric UZ1 SACD player, Garrard 301 with Ortofon RMG 309 and SPU gold ref cartridge.
I would agree that the most important factor is the recording quality. From my collection, The Power of the Orchestra, Moussorgsky, A night ..., Pictures ... (LP, reissue) images much better than most. Definitely I can hear the depth. The problem is, not many recordings are that good.

My room is not treated. I might try to improve the room treatment.
