Image depth


Can anyone offer a technical explanation of how a stereo system recreates image depth? Why are some center images behind the speakers, and others in front of the speakers, for example.
Should there be any depth to a mono recording, or should the image be directly in line with the speakers?

I'm not sure this is relevant to your question but it is interesting in how people differ in perception of music and speech.
