3D imaging

I I started thinking about this yesterday. What makes speakers produce a 3D image? I figured the first thing is the recording itself. I'm guessing mic placement has a lot to do with this. Next I would imagine is room,and speaker placement. Downstream gear certainly has to have some effect on this. Does the crossover have something to do with providing this "illusion " for lack of a better term? 
     Now please understand,I don't have anywhere near the technical knowledge a lot of you folks have,so as you explain this phenomenon,please dumb it down for me! 
    Thanks in advance,

Two huge advantages to headphones 🎧 are you don’t need room treatments and you don’t have to drive yourself crazy with speaker placement. What a relief! 😂

I'm not a fan of headphones. I haven't used mine in a couple of years. For me,speakers are my drink of choice. I actually find it fun in a way, to mark where speakers are placed,listen for a couple days,then move them to see where I'm at.
