Speakers that disappear


I once listened to some speakers where i was surprised by their disappearing act - I don't remember the brand - I think they were stand mounted. I am currently looking for speakers - not too big - and was hoping for recommendations - I know other components matter too but I understand some speakers are noted for this trait and some don't. I listen mostly to classical and vocals, lighter pop - no hard rock (I assume the Beatles and 60's count as "light" :) )  Speakers I have

My choices would be as follows:

1.  Magnepan LRS+

I have these, as well as several Harbeths, and had the LS50's several years ago.  They're all superb - but - I really prefer the LRS+ with the right electronics and set up.  Both these and the Harbeths are very hard to beat - though, I think with the right set up... the LRS+ are about as good as it gets... no matter what speakers you chose.  They are truly "giant killers" for modestly sized rooms and can be easily moved for listening... and out of the way, when not.

The Harbeths would be my close 2nd...

Ive had some very good soundstage affects but, never made my Maggie 1.7i s disappear  however, another " cheating way" as mentioned, listening in the dark or in my case dimly lit room really changes the visual / accustic dimension. I also project a DJ light  / party light againest the front wall. This seems to open the front wall and distract the eyes from the speakers.

May sound silly, but the soundstage is so much better than lights on or day time listening. .

I once heard old Polk Audio box speakers ( forgot model #) that used their unique interconnenct between speakers. The phantom sounds from way beyond the speakers was amazing. 

 

My Heils' and Walsh do that all the time.....

'Fatigue' is from reading complaints....
