Which speaker has the biggest sound stage?


I tried out a Magnepan 1.7 a couple months ago, and I am a bit shock by the sound stage of it. It just feel live music. Although the bass is a bit lacking, I really like the "be there" feeling.

So, my question is, does all planar speaker (electrostatic, ribbon ... ) have such big sound stage? And with different brands and models, which one has biggest sound stage?

Specifically for Magnepan, the 3.6 is about $1000 more than 1.6. What are the major differences? and is it worth the extra money?

My Ohm Walsh 2000s do a wonderful job of both producing a large soundstage and providing pinpoint imaging. Depth is fair, but I think my room and electronics play a role there. Great height, too. Not to forward, but very wide. Of course, the actual soundstage dimensions depend on the recording, the room, and to a lesser degree, associated gear.
