Usually this refers to a sound reproduction system's ability to accurately reproduce the subtle cues your brain uses to locate things by sound. If you sit in a theater (for example) and close your eyes, your brain can tell you, sometimes with astounding accuracy, where a sound source is - left, right, up, down, near or far. "Audiophiles" train themselves to notice this stuff, and being good at it may take some innate talent. A good stereo system preserves the subtle delays and phase shifts that allow you to sit in front of and between your speakers and "place" those sounds - e.g. the instruments in an orchestra or the voices in a choir - as if you were sitting in the room when it was recorded . This is the acoustic image (as I understand it).
