Imaging with a stereo system is clearly greater or less with a given speaker set - some project it more than others. Just saw a youtube post of an interview of Sandy Gross where he explains how imaging occurs and why certain speaker design encourages it more - namely a narrower baffle and attention paid to the mounting of drivers within it
Oddly I have an old pair of Athena budget monitors that image like crazy despite their low price - those Canadians put a lot of thought into them though the design is basic - there is a sort of waveguide on the tweeter that likely helps and the face is beveled back to be sort of "convex"

sadly got phased out way too early. The first models the ASC models were amazing being mstly time and phase aligned. The second generation models followed suit. It is no shame to own and enjoy a pair which puts to shame many more expensive brand names
not sure if you are referring to the Audition series or some earlier models that Athena did I think previous to going mass market - but yeah the Audition series I think were taking all the lower end sales from others and backordered at the retailers - I got mine wholesale at the time which made the value even more obscene.
Klipsch appeared to buy them and then kill off the brand - that was API which I guess had Mirage and Energy as well.
The second Audition series I think was designed to be lighter in weight but preserving their quality - I guess shipping at the distribution level was one of the biggest cost items which again is an eye opener. I have the first series
