Speakers that disappear

Long ago, I had a pair of diminutive ADS bookshelf speakers that “disappeared” and presented a wonderful soundstage.  I do not remember the model number but they were wonderful … except for lacking substantial base   Fast forward to the present, and my Fyne F-702 speakers come close to doing this.  Superb lateral and fron to rear dispersion, excellent tonal qualities, and much better bass than the old ADS speakers.  I said “almost” because they a fairly large, black obelisks, almost.  But, they do “virtually disappear.”

All speakers can “disappear “

Its almost always placement

and minimal room reflections

as been said above   Minimize 

room reflections and pick music that 

doesn't have widely panned instruments and or vocals

and truly most speakers will disappear 

Good luck Willy-T

i heard some smaller Harbeths set up at a dealer where the soundstage was feet behind the speakers. Total disappearing act.
 

Just got a new pair of PMC Twenty5.24i’s. Huge upgrade from the Buchardts I had previously. Soundstage and imaging very impressive. Nord 227wpc with upgraded op amp. QED Golden Anniversary XT cables. Music excellent disappearing act .Movies, you are there!

KEF LS50’s image very well and are smaller. You can go up the chain as well, the Reference 1’s will do the trick too. I believe the coaxial tweeter/midrange design is a bit more forgiving in terms of placement and sitting position.
