Tried Paper Airplane byt Alison Krauss and Union Station. It's more country/bluegrass than I usually enjoy, but a great album and some good recording too!

I would check out The Raven that Refused to Sing by Steven Wilson. Amazing production. Very much a Progressive Rock/Jazz Fusion mix.

For a very heavy and self indulgent shred album Soul Cycle II by Soul Cycle had absolutely tremendously impacting production. Really really sounds crushingly heavy while it isn't brutal at all.
 
For a softer album I thought that Purity Ring's EP (Ungirthed) and Album (Shrines) were absolutely gorgeous. Glo fi sound at its best, euphoric and ever so relaxing.

I think everything Steven Wilson has done in his solo career, and in Porcupine Tree and Storm Corrosion, is very well recorded and produced.

The album I use almost exclusively to listen to soundstage is Common Ground by The New Gary Burton Quartet. Check it out!

Interesting album - I like it!
 
I can't keep up with all these great suggestions, but please keep sharing for everyone else's benefit!

Perhaps Born and Raised by John Mayer? I believe they made a great mixing job!

Yeah - that's a great album and pretty good sound too. Not epic quality, but nice. The drums sound a bit distant and muffled (like they were playing in a separate room of the studio and someone forgot to turn the mic on 

) but a great album and enjoyable sound quality nonetheless.
