Speakers that disappear

I once listened to some speakers where i was surprised by their disappearing act - I don't remember the brand - I think they were stand mounted. I am currently looking for speakers - not too big - and was hoping for recommendations - I know other components matter too but I understand some speakers are noted for this trait and some don't. I listen mostly to classical and vocals, lighter pop - no hard rock (I assume the Beatles and 60's count as "light" :) )  Speakers I have

The ProAc Tabletttes do a great disappearing act. I still remember being amazed at this small system with the anniversary edition from CAF 2013.

Bowers and Wilkins with tweeter on top designs are amazing at wide soundstage and disappearing act.

I always listen in the dark; I guess that probably doesn't count?

I run a pair of slightly modified KEF C55 stand mounts. They disappear with lights on or off. 🤘🏼

GR Research's NX Studio disappear amazingly well.

Open baffle planar tweeters are the magic.

They are kits, but they come with finished baffles, and flat packs are available (so you don't have to do any wood cutting). 

The end results are a speaker that compete with speakers at at least twice their price.
