Well, it is easy to get SOTA imaging and soundstaging from a vintage vinyl system. I have a Yamaha GT-2000 that is from the early 80s and was one of the great direct drive TTs of that era. I use a modern Audio Technica AT150MLX cartridge and feed that into a superb Silvaweld, all tube phonostage. That last bit, the phonostage, is critical BTW.
The pursuit of better imaging and soundstaging has been a goal of hifi for a long time and rightly so or there wouldn't be a need for stereo at all! However, I do agree that most modern systems throw out the baby with the bath water! That doesn't mean there aren't modern ones that can't do what you want on top of the high resolution etc.
Your examples above of an Accuphase, Avalon type system would give me the shivers and I would never call that SOTA from a music listening POV.
