2 Channel System - Image behind my head

Anyone else hear this? I am listening to "Sympathy for the Devil" on the 40 licks compilation, and the paino on this track is from behind my right ear!!! It is so strongly localized behind me that it is unnerving.

Has anyone else experienced this from this or any other track?

their satanic majesties' request has a lot of similar effects, esp. 2000 man, in another land and gomper. i am pretty sure these effects were intentionally produced
in the studio.

I have a pair of Sonus Faber Extremas, and when set up right, they image behind you. Not every album but quite a bit. I have been told by many that it isnt possible but they fill the room with sound.

I have heard it in the show room where I bought them and three different rooms that I have had them set up in.
