Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording?

What I am talking about is that not only do the speakers disappear sitting in the sweet spot (for any music), but if I move a few feet in any direction , I still don’t hear the sound as originating from 2 boxes, just a wall (area?) of sound. Again just talking about disapearing (not localizing instruments)..

And if may be that those who have only heard typical box speakers have not experienced this (perhaps they wouldn’t like it). There is a reason omnis are popular (note though that Jay didn’t like the MBLs at recent show), The mirage bipoles (in phase front and rear drivers) were popular and I was surprised to find this in the LSA. box speakers(I assume because they are wide dispersion).

Not sure if Maggies, and open baffles have this quality or not.

There is a reason speakers other than low dispersion boxes are and will remain popular--changing sound radiating pattern (for better or worse-=your taste) is one thing unlike frequency response that only speakers (well and room treatments) can change.  

And room treatments may ruin this--dunno.

Two that come to mind are the above-mentioned Linkwitz LXmini's (where the sweet spot exists pretty much everywhere in the room) and the venerable Spica TC 50's and 60's.  I heard a pair of ML Montis with a Lyndorf receiver and in the narrow  sweet spot, the speakers really did disappear.  I imagine the Cube Audio speakers would do the same thing.

I am not sure it is possible with a traditional cone and dome type speaker.  As many have pointed out, mono recordings, etc... are going to simply radiate.  They are directional.  

A speaker that reflects off the room and uses the room to create your soundstage would be your best bet.  MBL probably would be your best option as it has a 360 degree radiation pattern but you will likely find that electrostats (martin logan), planar (maggies) and even some of the really excellent ribbon designs (Raidho) will be better at this than any cone and dome speaker I have heard.
