Stu,
That intuitively makes sense. However, I've experienced some counter-examples. For example, the Quad 989 + Plinius system I heard at a local dealer produced a very small soundstage. The imaging was pinpoint, but the width was constrained to between the speakers and the height and depth were almost non-existant. I've also heard Thiels which had microscopic pinpoint imaging but a small-average stage. The larger Martin Logans (Statement, Prodigy, Summit) seem to produce good soundstage depth, but the width and height are just good - not exceptional. I haven't heard any other electrostats though, GMA speakers, or other time-aligned designs.
I currently have Dynaudio C2s with Simaudio P5/W5 LE amplification and an APL SACD player. This combo, in a large room, produces a very wide soundstage with about as much height as I've heard (by height I mean b. in my previous post). But my previous speakers, Focus Audio 688 monitors, threw the deepest soundstage and most three-dimensional, palpable images I've ever heard. Totem Model 1 were quite good too.
