Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording?


I have a pair of B&W 805d3’s. Strictly analog system. Source is the Clearaudio Ovation, Hana SL cart. Herron VTPH-2A phono stage. Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II integrated amp. The speakers sound great most of the time. I have many records that cause the speakers to essentially disappear with a holographic sound stage, beautiful imaging and great dynamics. Some other records, not so much. Curious if there’s a way to achieve disappearing speakers no matter what recording you throw at them? Thanks!

I forgot to say that i dont listen pop music nor rock because i hate most of the time the SOUND from studio manipulations but often also i dont like the commercial music..Not so more musicians rival the Beatles or Bob Dylan in pop culture... 😁😊

I listen mainly to Classical, and jazz and music from Asian countries...India and persia especially...

I disconnected for ever my only sub after controlling my room.... My 7 inches driver do the job now with enough bass to be listen by my body but the wall dont vibrate no.......I listen tuba or piano very well  not explosions anyway....

The recording engineer is the key person in the operation. Given a good recording, the LXmini's that Prof. Linkquitz designed are famous for vanishing. You can build a pair for around $400. Madisound has a kit.

Frankly I have an elchepo Recel RSB106 and a 10 year old Velodyne servo powered sub with a new dangled Antham AVM 70 and a 15 year old Adcom GFA 7400 5x 125 or 150 whatever and a Bluesound streamer part old and part brand new and it will kick the crap  out of your B&W whatever’s.
