That's an interesting and valid point, RS ... but not one I've noticed ... or thought about. I'll have to experiment.
Yes, unfortunately (due to the room depth) the panels are not out very far - maybe 3' from the front of the LPs and 4' from the back of the equipment shelf, above.

I was also worried about the additional ADDA processing in my miniDSP (the simple one!). Many of us have spent a lot of money in DAC... Inside the miniDSP there are no high grade processors and there is not even a good analog buffer stage. I am using my miniDSP in place of the external crossover box of my 3.6 and feed two indentical stereo power amplifiers (one for each channel). Surprise, it worked far better than expected! I have no EQ, just a plain setting similar to the original external crossovers. Sure, the bass increased by about 1.5 dB, that is what the series resistance of the coils soak up. Still, I like the result and have not set back the level of the bass. Did a fine tuning by inserting a 0.5 ohm resistor on the ribbon drivers. I hope to replace the miniDSP with a proper analog line level active low pass crossover for the bass and a passive for the high pass.

It depends on what you mean by "good depth". Do you mean something like a neutral presentation or one with an extra portion of artificial depth due to a large cavity/room behind your speakers? It also depends on room size how far from the wall you place a dipol speaker and how it is angled in respect to boundaries and listening spot.
IMO realistic depth to width ratio, of a large sound stage, of a symphonic classical work.
