I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage

I have heard it half a dozen times at home, small room, Primaluna HP Integrated or a Rogue Atlas Magnum II and RP-1 Pre and believe it or not a pair of close to 30 year old Paradigm Export Monitors.

The experience I had, I can only describe as sitting in an aquarium when the litlle rectangular glass aquarium was filled with liquid engulfing you from all directions with no awareness of the speaker boxes...it was just perfect!

The room is approximately 12 x 13 x 9, small bedroom converted to a den!

So the question is what speakers does everyone recommend to provide the same experience?? I have a budget of $2000 for the next little babies so let’s not talk about Focal uber expensive stand mounts at $9500 thank you!

Monitor not floor standers and the Primaluna is gone, it’s all Rogue And yes, I would consider a pair of floor standers that are not to intrusive.

Soundstage is a lot like charm. You’ve either got it or you don’t. What passes for soundstage much of the time is really nothing more than a projection of the sound, at best.

With a little bit of positioning, Dynaudio Special 40's throw a huge holographic soundstage in small/medium sized rooms. Best I have heard amongst the 10 brands/speakers I have had in my house. they list for $3000 new but can be had for just over $2000 used, meeting the OP's initial requirements. Only concern is that the provided port bungs might need to be used in that space.
