Sound stage, front, middle, or behind your speaker

I've heard all three, and it seemed to have nothing to do with the quality of the speaker. I have dipole speakers and the sound stage is 7 feet behind the speakers. I suppose there are a number of variables that will determine in front or behind; the question is whether or not this is determined by the position of the speaker or the speaker it self?

Polarity for one is the reason it is in front, or behind a dipole speaker.
One of the interesting things about a dipole is the way the soundstage moves from front to back when the polarity is reversed.

Actually I like all smaller groups in front. and big Classical orchestras 'behind'.
