Perhaps I should have substituted "aspects" or even "effects" for "properties" in my OP? Words, words, words...As you've stated, the quality of the gear does have something to do with the quality of the soundstage, and there are other physical factors contributing to "soundstaging" too - such as the recording and the room. The sum total of all physical interactions get mixed up and processed in the brain but since the system is essential to our illusions, measurable parameters should be lurking somewhere. My ultimate concern is for that which is *heard*, of course.
We are still learning how to measure.

Three most important things in Audio reproduction: Keep the noise levels low, the power high and the room diffuse.
You don't, you measure the contributing factors.
Only one of the contributing factors - the quality of the signal reproduction can be assessed. And this is likely the least important - based on the diversity of products out there - factor of the four I mentioned.
Think about it, we have rooms that very incredibly - some treated some not - even the treating is different. Then we have Planar Dipole, Line source & Monopole, and Omnidirectional radiators, Satellite and Sub system, Full Range single driver system, two way, 3-way four way and More. Passive and active, near field monitors, even Head Phone listeners. We have those that listen to only stereo, then we have those that listen through 3.1 to 11.2 Channel systems with Synthesized and Directed multichannel signals. SET Amplifier that distort audibly and are preferred to Solid state 1000 Watt Mono blocks - and vice-verse.
I could go on and on. But the point is the equipment and therefore the measurement of the equipment is mostly ancillary to the enjoyment of the listening experience. State of mind, Belief in the System, Decent Source material are far more critical.
