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.

Shadorne all your points are good ones. I was just wondering if others have noticed a change in soundstage height when making changes. Also i sit about 10.5 ft from my speakers and vocals are like there up on a stage ie Eva but Diana Krall is lower which would be correct i guess because she is sitting down.

What has efected the soundstage height Fwiw is the changes I made to my grounding scheme.

also what height is considered the norm or is it all over the place.
