Speakers with Depth Layering abilities


It seems we all know speakers that provide depth; depth layering is a bit different. I don't notice that many speakers do that. They give depth, but you can't tell who's on first, and who's on second, so to speaker, just that there's a row of violinists in the front and a bass drum in the back, and all the other instruments are in between.
What are the best speakers have you heard that actually layer the rows of musicians front to back? Do any of the Hale Design speakers or the Alon speakers do this?

In TAS, back in issue 68, HP averred that the "IRS, the Magnepans, the quads, the Martin-Logans designs, and even, yes, the Avalons, the Thiels and the Mirages" provide a "...layered field of depth."

It would be nice to know which speakers, given all the money we spend on our electronics, give the audiophile thrills, not to be confused with the musical thrills of a performance. Even in the audio mags, TAS itself, as well as Stereophile, there's little notice of the speakers or other electronics ability to provide this.
So. Whatcha got? What other speakers do this?

Spica's do nice depth, at a low cost, good driver two ways do depth, 3 ways are harder to do, due to baffle width.

Amp/speaker combo is the big difference, layers and such come out with system tuning and tweaks. Your into the short and curly's now.
