Soundstage of Marantz SACD players

Dear fellow members: I have a question regarding the soundstage of Marantz SACD players. I currently own a Marantz 8260. I like it dynamics, sense of pace and tonal richness. I have one caveat with it. I listen to alot of symphonic and piano music and find that it somewhat miniaturizes the size of instruments. It is as though the soundstage has been stretched-out horizontally and shortened vertically. I have had an Audio Research CD 3 in my set up as well as many other fine players, all of which provided me with a realistic soundstage. Only the Marantz SA 14 and Meridian 508.24 were similar to the 8260 in terms of making instruments and voices sound small. I would like to upgrade to a more expensive Marantz, possibly the 11 S2 and I am wondering if it will have the same soundstage presentation of my current 8260. I would like an Sacd player to give me the feeling that voices and instruments are in the room and not being heard at a great distance.
Many thanks.
