What I mean is: creating a nice stereo image has to do with proper arrangement and mixing technique. Study the cd's you like very carefully on your monitors and try to hear what thechniques are used.

Just one tip: stereo synth/keyboard tracks rarely ever help in creating a wide image. Also: try to create space in the higher frequencies by rolling of from things like digital recorded guitars for example. Those tracks don't need anything above 4-8k generally, but can cloud up the frequency range that helps in creating a wide image.

Good luck,
Dirk
