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.

IF your photo moniker is your setup, try moving the cone floor standers away ( and shorting them w jumpers ) and moving audio rack to the side. Big changes but worth doing IMO
jim smiths excellent book on getting better sound also advised.
best to you

Vandersteen, imaging champs !

i have a pair of Apogee Stage that do fairly well for depth. Check your setup and rigidity, Sound anchors help.
