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!

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.

Calling all high enders......

Try a Beatles song panned hard left or right...

Sit in the middle and post your report.....

For that fact any Beatles song.

@ishkabibil yeah I hear ya. I was in a weird mood this morning. Apologies for the sarcastic comments. It really is recording dependent. 

I would think a lot of this depends upon how things are set up and what is in the room.  Actually, there is a dealer here who specializes in Master Set.  They demonstrated this in their showroom.  You couldn't detect either left or right speaker.  

Peace  brother!

Keep on listening and enjoy.

The world is running backwards right now and everyone is a little stressed.
