Speakers that disappear

@terraplane8bob

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!

Concentric driver designs+a narrow baffle+attention paid to phase precision will tend to be holographic and disappear like a piece of cake...even if your room/setup is a bit suboptimal. If it fits your wallet, get a TAD E1TX. It isn’t very big and will be a significant step up (sonically) from what you currently have.

Or...here’s a less wallet abusing piece with some compromise from Technics (SB-G90M2)

"...speakers that disappear...." ?

Bluetoothed headphones, but keep a sub....coffee table disguised....

Hi Ahal,

Maybe you should research these speakers: www.bloomline.com. I've heard them play and they really are amazing! No sweet spot anymore at all. Even when you walk around, the music seems to come from a stage between the speakers when you're walking by. This really amazing system was invented by Leo de Klerk, a recording engineer. Based on laws of fysics and audio behaviour. 

Hope you'll find your perfect speaker. Success!
