Here's a way to make it even wider:

I tend to record the reverb - PCM 70, twice,on separate tracks. Pan them - hard or not so hard - PCM70 has only analog in/out, so the 2 reverb tracks will differ slitghly from conversions/ analog stages on my DMX R 100. You can always alter one's setting, as stated above. I do a mono group channel, where I send equally amounts of the 2 reverb tracks in, and switch the mono group's phase with a plug (like Tools One vst) by 180degrees. Blend to taste - so your dry vocals remain centered and focused, and the reverb spreads on the sides, being out of phase in the midlle field. Of course, you need 100% wet verbs, to keep the dry vocals on level.You can compress that group, so the out of phase verb will be more consistent, you can (at least in SX) delay with a few offset samples one of the reverbs, you can EQ that group so - let's say, the out of phase center reverb misses all the highs, and kkep the highs on the reverbs only on the sides.

Of course, this can be done (at least in SX) by switching the panner to dual, but making a group out of the verbs gives you more control out of it.
