Not seeing the sound

The other day, I was playing around with speaker positioning, and hit upon a spot where I could no longer "see" the sound coming out of the speakers directly. Now, the sound seems to be in different places relative to where the speakers stand, sort of in an etherial way. I like it. This may be a dumb question, but does this mean I've finally gotten a "soundstage?"

I call this "not hearing the speakers"

Meaning, when you can no longer hear that you have distinct boxes making sound but instead perceive the illusion of sound events coming from a number of places.

Good speaker placement and acoustics matter a lot to make this happen.
