It really begins upsteam...if you can hear you amplifier grilling, then your speakers no matter what they are will not disappear...it is the whole chain.
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
Harbeth PS3ER XD,
Martin Logan Stylos Speakers (wall mounted)
Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 Speakers,
Enigma Speakers - Enigma Oremus
Had Focal Aria 906

+1rick_n It all depends on what type of music you're listening to, your room and do you also like that slam of bass. I have Wilson Maxx II's, but my son has some Martin Logans and I love their sound. I had a pair of Monolith's, but sold them to buy the Wilson's. I wish I had a larger room, so I could incorporate both speakers in my listening area. I have a pair of Klipschorns that have been sitting in their corners, unused for several years. I think I'll find a low power tube amp and connect them up. |
Absolutely! I have the Orion’s also - "Maggies on Steroids!" But... the OP seemed to be asking for smaller speakers that "disappear." And... although I love my Orion’s... they are quite a bit larger and more difficult to manage, than the LRS+ or Harbeths. And... I do believe the LRS+ does a fair job of competing with the Orions... maybe... with the exception of the dynamics and drive of the lower mids and bass and the size of the soundstage. The LRS+ is just amazing at producing not only the accuracy and transparency of the sound, but also the imaging and soundstage, with those ESL 57 or Harbeth mids - which is all you need for "all things acoustic." If I want a bit more dynamics and drive... I’ll add some Rels to the mix of my LRS+. But for most of my jazz, blues, country and classical - I don’t miss it a bit! And... the bonus is... the LRS+, which rivals most any other speaker - is only $1,000! |
