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

Martin Logan Stylos Speakers (wall mounted)

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.

My choices would be as follows: 1. Magnepan LRS+ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY-zS4eJogE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lprCVHnMmDg&t=83s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLdlZ5bJXIY&t=433s I have these, as well as several Harbeths, and had the LS50's several years ago. They're all superb - but - I really prefer the LRS+ with the right electronics and set up. Both these and the Harbeths are very hard to beat - though, I think with the right set up... the LRS+ are about as good as it gets... no matter what speakers you chose. They are truly "giant killers" for modestly sized rooms and can be easily moved for listening... and out of the way, when not.
