Speakers that disappear

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....

My Rockports completely vanish.

They rarely ever get mentioned in a conversation like this, but my Polk Audio Legend L 800 are among the best speakers I have ever heard when it comes to the disappearing act. They require proper set up and replacement, but if you take the time to do it they will simply vanish into the ether. Associated gear is also important, and my system consists of Carver Raven monoblock, McIntosh C2300, and Simaudio 680D…

In my experience the best speakers at disappearing tend to be planar - the original Quads were quite good and ones that I still own, primarily because of this particular attribute, are Martin Logan CLS.
