Vocalist Height system dependent?

A audiophile friend came over to listen after I had made some changes to my system. I was playing Eva Cassidy tall trees in Georgia. Right of the bat he noticed how high she was "near the ceiling".

He was right. my speakers are about 5.5 tall with the mid range driver is about 4.5ft up +-. It seems that the height of the soundstage is dependent on the source,cables,power quality. Do all speakers have this quality,does midrange height change in your system. After listening I'm starting to use this as a benchmark for my system and source.

After thinking about this I was just wondering what others experience and your thoughts.

I would try some of the stereophile test cd's to check system parameters;I sure there are several other ones out there as well such as chesky.
Without really knowing the recording setup I think it would be hard to know actual postions during the recording sessions;thats why I would use test cd's that mention where the artists and instruments are placed in the soundstage.
