You may be right, but I've heard monoblocks using the same preamp yielding different soundstage presentation than other monoblocks, so in spite of channel separation being an issue, it's not the only one.I don't measure gear, but in those "minimal phase shifts" you mention could be some of the stage differences we can perceive. All I know is that electronics using low or no feedback and electronics working in single ended as opposite to push-pull, usually offer a more consistent and natural soundstage than the others, being all other things equal, it is speakers, wires and source.
I don't think wider and deeper soundstage is better, some of those "special effects" are mostly speaker-room dependant, but being these a constant, then what do you think explains the stage differences among amps?
