Speakers "Disappearing"
Keep in mind that every recording has a different "Recorded Code". So you play a few recordings and the soundstage is fine to you, and there's that next recording that doesn't do so well. It's not that the recording is bad. It's simply that you need to make your adjustments to tune in that code. The more you make your system variable the easier it will be to play any recording.

The easiest way is to get a pair of Martin Logans or other ESL or Planar speaker (I haven’t tried the other ESLs or Planars but I’m assuming they can do this). Mine are not positioned symmetrically within the room or within 1/16th of an inch of their ideal position. I just start the music and the sound appears between, behind and outside the speakers with no indication that the speakers are where the music is coming from. They do need some space from the side and back walls, though. It’s a lot harder to do with box speakers. I first heard this effect when I bought a pair of Apogee Slant 6s years ago. I could stand between them and it would not sound like the music was coming from the speakers. |

@georgehifi Hi, can you pls advise if the "audiophile" test albums are very helpful in testing a system's capabilities and help with setup? I came across these two on HDtracks and was wondering if they're worth buying: http://www.hdtracks.com/audiophile-hi-res-system-test?___store=default&nosto=nosto-page-category... http://www.hdtracks.com/audiophile-speaker-set-up?___store=default&nosto=nosto-page-category1 |
