Speakers "Disappearing"


I have read a lot about speakers "disappearing" so that one can't tell from where the sound is emanating. But, what about all the stereo tunes where the recordiing engineer intentionally pans the music to come from one side or the other? Can the speakers be made to "disappear" in that situation? Or, is it just the nature of the particular recording?

@georgehifi Hi, can you pls advise if the "audiophile" test albums are very helpful in testing a system's capabilities and help with setup?  I came across these two on HDtracks and was wondering if they're worth buying:
