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!

Almost any speaker at any price when listening/speaker positions and room acoustics have been optimized.

@ishkabibil Thank you for your insightful and well thought out response. Very impressed with your effort and I think you should consider writing a book or starting a blog on the topic. 😘 

Ever played a Beatles song where George Martin pans hard right or left?

C'mon...now you know why I said no.

It mostly recording dependant.
