good speaker with Sound stage behind????

Brit speakers are typically more forward than US speakers...Vandies,thiel, and Magnepan come to mind

Depending on your space constraints the magnepan mg12 or 1.6. I have the mg12 and soundstage is nice and deep. (room acoustics and the quality of the recording are also at play here).

Thanks for all the responses. I will give the speakers some more time to break them in, about 60 hours on them currently. Most of you have recommended placement issues which I have played with thus far. I drive them with a B&K AVR307 receiver. Funny thing is with my old NHT 2.5i speakers I used the same equipment and speaker placements, no issues with forward sound there. Not trying to be funny but maybe it's my Sinus infection I have that's causing my hearing to be effected and amplifying the headache I already have?? Consequently I got the speakers a short time after my Sinus infection began

Duke hit the nail on the head per usual.

definitely your sinus infection has an effect on how you hear. No joke.
