what speakers do the best "disappearing act"??

Disappearance depends on the front end (as eloquently stated by others), the speakers and room acoustics. I took my Bryston/Thiel combination (BP-25, 7B-ST, CS-6) and set it up an my neighbors house (even putting them very near the corners) and the soundstage was front and center. Speakers? What speakers? It was incredible and much better than I experienced in my own acoustic setting. While I always knew acoustics were important, the magnitude of the impact startled me and I now wonder if we need a more detailed vocabulary around acoustic effects and environments so we can discuss that any time we discuss anything about "best" -- it's all in the context. In other words, as so often stated, "there is no best" -- only a lot of very good combinations of gear, some of which work very well in specific environments. Cheers.

My Dunlavy V's. I swear! They are big but they are the last place the sound seem to originate from unless the instrument, when recorded/mastered was at that 'location'

It's all in the setup unless the source is hard right/hard left mix. My dunlavy's are almost impossible to pinpoint even when you are trying. I've also had and an old pair of Klipsh Cornwalls that would dissapear entirely
