Is Speaker height important to creating realism?

" Is Speaker height important to creating realism?"

Realism...How real? Completely three dimensional,with time and space at a level where the illusion passes from stereo to virtual reality. I truly doubt any bookshelf or speaker below 4 feet can achieve sound reproduction like this. I also think a room correction circuit is needed. My speakers are about 5 feet tall and then my time and phase correction speakers are mounted above them,so in my system the speakers are almost eight feet high. That seems to do the trick.

Oh, my apologies. Perhaps I was misreading the above quote by you.
