Amps that use a lot of negative feedback also tend not to
image well.

Afraid the above strikes me as a sweeping generalisation that fails to
agree with my experience.

The Audionotes have low or zero negative feedback. Another consideration
is trying a Gainclone type chip amp.These seem to have amazingly 3D
imaging.

Well, systems that suffer from microphony might alter the perceived imaging
as they would tend to add some 'reverb'. Having little or no feedback might
exacerbate this tendency, but it has little to do with feedback per se.

If the concern is for improved imaging, then I would suggest directing
attention to the choice of speakers, their placement in the room, the
listening position, and the room acoustics.

Also on the choice of source material. If I understood the OP correctly his
comment were based on just listening to one item. If so, the comments may
relate more to that than to the system used. You'd need to listen to a
variety of material to assess this.

Slainte,

Jim
