Speakers that excel at depth/layering/space

I am looking for comments on what speakers you have heard that provide a lot of depth, but with the depth, also layering and separation in the depth or soundfield.

Width and openess is one thing, but depth with layering and space from front to back is much rarer.

One speaker that recently impressed me was the PSB Synchrony One with Mcintosh amp and front end.

I've demoed a lot of equipment but don't hear this aspect that often.

Any comments or experiences to share?

Nothing IME can touch the MBL 101. If they come down in price $50K or $60K, I'm all over a pair.

Jax,

If your MBL reference was to the Stereophile show near LAX 7 or 8 years back, we're on the same page. That demo was also the basis on which I made my comment and the most convincing display of imaging/staging that I've ever heard from any system. OTOH, the 101 has generally been very, very good in this regard on each of the subsequent ocassions on which I've heard it. Maybe not as good as at LAX, but very, very good, nonetheless.
