Speakers that excel at depth/layering/space

I think were missing it, because we’re not just listening to speakers. Sure some speakers are more capable than others, but! As I have auditioned different amps, preamps, and cables I have been amazed at how each of them has affected the soundstage, spacing between instruments and front to back placement. I had a home audition of some raved about, relatively expensive speaker cable a couple weeks ago that totally collapsed the soundstage. System synergy is more important than one component.

Same as mentioned above and from my experience, Avalon for depth, layering, spaciousness of music, although I like Kharma quite a bit too...

Small ProAc speakers in the Response series, and the tablettes. Set up and synergy must be right, but they can certainly do it

Nothing IME can touch the MBL 101. If they come down in price $50K or $60K, I'm all over a pair.

I have a pair of Avalon Avatars that do this very well.
This speaker is their smallest floor stander - a two way.
I did own Apogee Mini Grands. I liked them better than any conventional point source speaker I've heard.
Think about this:
A point source speaker like the Grand Slamm or Utopia still uses a small tweeter, (sometimes in multiples).
An Apogee panel uses a tweeter ribbon measured in feet. Even their entry level Stage can suspend disbelief, on many dynamic recordings.
For the Avalon and the Apogee:
These do need room to breathe, and the better the gear upstream , the better they sound.
