** If you are referring to real sources, not stereo images then it is nothing unusual.

Locating the direction of a typical sound source involves time of arrival differences at each ear - plus moving the head to bring them towards zero.

OTOH, the virtual image produced by a stereo pair of speakers requires the time difference to be eliminated first by sitting in the mid position, then level differences take over to give one the apparent direction.

This is actually the stereo image from speakers.
