Speakers that excel at depth/layering/space

I am looking for comments on what speakers you have heard that provide a lot of depth, but with the depth, also layering and separation in the depth or soundfield.

Width and openess is one thing, but depth with layering and space from front to back is much rarer.

One speaker that recently impressed me was the PSB Synchrony One with Mcintosh amp and front end.

I've demoed a lot of equipment but don't hear this aspect that often.

Any comments or experiences to share?

Purely personal opinion and may be controversial:

Depth and layering means you need coherence.
Full range speakers with no crossovers will give you that.
They wont play loud, no deep bass, no top end, but they convey space.

Other than that you'd be looking at speakers from YG acoustics, Avalon, or to a certain extent Wilson.

JM Lab Utopia Be's will do it too, but crossover mods necessary.

Tis is the most desirable feature for me to enjoy the sound. without it any others features do not turn me on. unfortunatley not many speakers would do this(and definately not Focal utopia Be it have depth but not layered IMHO, they shine in other areas however)
Some Kharma models would do.
I also find that some speakers that uses serial type filters(95% have paralel type) have this sonic feature.
