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?

I am suprised to read where many responders recommended 
placing your speakers equi-distant from the side walls and the front wall.
You said you found the Cardas room setup recommendations ,
which suggest that you should never have the same measurements 
from the side wall as you have from the front wall .
While speakers 8ft apart and sitting 8ft from them might be ideal 
your room might dictate something else.

What does you speaker manufacture recommend ?

I have moved my speakers all over the place and just when I thought I had the perfect spot I make a change somewhere in my system and have to re-adjust them again , though now it's just playing with toe-in.

Is the Chesky DJ 37 sampler & test disc available on vinyl or a CD ?
