The appropriate use of delays can often help in effectively shaping and enhancing the spatial image to a degree - do a search on the forum for Haas delays.

Learn to get the issue of mono-compatibility to work for you - you can do all sorts of wacky spatial effects using a combination of phase-reversal, delay, EQ, pitch-shifting, and even MS processing and STILL have the whole thing fold down to mono very neatly indeed. It just requires a slightly mathematical approach and a lot of creative experimentation!

Also, bass frequencies tend to "cloud up" and can affect the spatial localisation of certain elements in a mix. You may need to be more drastic in shaping the lower frequencies for hard-panned elements that you really want pushing out to the sides.
