at the studio, my audio engineer uses waves s1, but it is not compatible with live (or is it)? any suggestions of other stereo imagers/enhancers?

I wrote my own, it's a 'psycho-acoustic panner' with some simple early reflection bits and pieces.

The Live built-in Utility plug, with the width bumped up just a little, can add some nice space.

Some plug from steinberg.

Nevertheless, I'm coming to the conclusion that nothing does as well as "manually" adding space to a track by dividing it in two channels, one panned left, one right, and independently changing the EQ, chorus, etc.

Dope helps also a lot if placed right between the speakers

okay, more serious answers:

- erosion has this "wide noise" feature. it adds different noisy distortion to left / right channel, might be usefull for hihats or snares. compare "noise" with "wide noise" under headphones using a mono input signal

- vinly distortions "pinch" effect part adds odd harmonics 180 degrees out of phase to a signal. might be good on drums or bass if applied gently.

- live 6 eq 8 does also M/S mode, allowing to enhance stereo signals frequency selective

- operator and simpler / sampler have that spread function which uses two detuned voices to create a chorusing stereo effect. side effect: all random lfo things are left / right independend

- grain delay can be used to subtly add depth to strings and atmospheres if dry/wet is close to zero and spray is > 0
