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

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!

Whether or not your speakers disappear is system dependent.
My speakers lost that quality for a number of years.
I recently repaired/upgraded the electronics: amps, preamp, phonostage.
They disappeared again. 😊

The room may be the most important thing.

I have a pair of Magnepan MMG, Vandersteen 2 and Mofi Sourcepoint 8 all in my living room, hooked up to the same McIntosh amplifier (using a switch-box).

ALL three pair do the disappearing act . . .  but the listening chair had to be moved forward or backward slightly, and the speakers are (obviously) at different positions within the room. It's all about your room (mine is half-treated), the speakers' placement, and the seating position relative to those speakers.

WHY do I have so many different speakers? Each presents the stereo image differently and I switch monitors based on the recording I am playing.
