A deeper more holographic soundstage.

I was wondering by what means you have created a deeper soundstage. I am satisfied with the width but I really feel it is a bit 2 dimensional. It doesn't go back far enough. I like more layers of sound that reach towards you from the blackness.
As I've already spent quite a bit on my system I am unable to buy much more expensive components.
Did you upgrade one component that made the difference? Placement of speakers? New footers or tweaks such as Stillpoints?
Two subs instead of one(I have one)? Different placement of subs? I am working with a very tight space so it is difficult to move things without them being in the center of the room.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Room treatment...you can use acoustic foam at all the early reflection points.  That means ceiling and floor too if possible. Use the mirror trick. This the cheapest and most effective. However WAF is zero.

Super tweeters don't work for this purpose. I have a pair of Townshend's lying in the cupboard.

Biggest jump up I had in creating a large soundstage was HFT's from Synergistic Research.  

Tunable resonaters are good, especially in combination with HFT's.  Need minimum two, more is better.

Synergistic Research make a very good one, I've forgotten what they call it, but it  has settings for many different ambiances and according to Jonathan Valin, it really works. Expensive though, around 3K...
