Not at that price range, no. But you don't need to pay astronomical prices either. In my opinion the speakers of the link below come close to the ideal. They use waveguides and DSP, no magic ingredients.
Time alignment: whilst not absolutely necessary, it makes a difference, even to the tin ear that I am :-)
"State-of-the-art imaging", what exactly is that and how do you know that the speakers are delivering those particular goods? What is the reference when judging imaging?
Soundstage depth: this would relate to distance perception in rooms. Nielsen in AES paper 3069 references some of the relevant literature. His introductory comments are quite interesting: "Sound reproduced through a normal set of stereo loudspeakers or a pair of headphones often lacks the impression of depth. This may be due to improper recreation of the oroginal sound field at the listener's ear. However, it may also be because the perception of depth by the hearing is not as good as we expect it to be. A reproduction cannot be better than the reality."
State-of-the-art reproduction: it would appear that only wave field synthesis is capable of recreating the original sound field, but that's a technology I'm not at all familiar with and anyway, there seems to be a problem in terms of home user acceptance.
