I have a lack of depth in "soundstage".

SPeaker placement my friend...at least 3-4 ft. from back wall....

Question for you Flickkit:

How close are your speakers to the back wall?

I go to the symphony regularly and sit 8th row center. Live music actually has very little depth. It is mostly an audiophile thing (that I like.)

That said, not changing your equipment, I agree with Lak that the room and speaker placement are where I would start.

Live music has very little depth? I don't understand that at all. At the symphony hall I hear the violins in front with woodwinds behind them and horns behind that, that is the way it sounds to me and that is how I would define depth. I do think it's very important in live music as well as on a stereo system. Something is wrong if you aren't gettting a sence of depth on your system or in concert. I would also agree that the speaker placement would be the first place to look. Also if you have a TV or large object between your speakers that can severely impare your systems ability to portray depth.

Do you have the means to place your speakers across a corner of the room, I heard a system configured in this manner(using Proac 1SC speakers) and it gave the impression of sounds 30-40 feet behind the speakers(no exaggeration!)
It also seemed to improve imaging and bass response!
