That is the thing with planars when optimized in the room and with better electronics the soundstage can be far larger than the spacing between the tweeters and the depth of the room. Recordings made in large acoustics can place instruments well outside the walls. There is even more potential than you have reached so far.To get an idea of how far it can go try the Rooze setup.
aim the speakers so that they are in the line between your seat and the respective corners, shooting at the sidewalls and you can't see the back or front of the speakers when viewing them from the seat. Though it is very impressive with large orchestras once it is finely tuned, the setup reveals itself as artifice when you play small tight ensembles that seem to be at opposite ends of a bowling alley. But the impression with a large ensemble will give you an idea of what to aim for as you tweak. With the proper setup you should come close to that performance with large groups while maintaining proper spreads with small groups.
