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

Amazingly enough the amp used matters a lot as well.

Agree with Maggie's 3.7i but they do need a high current amp and subs add a lot. . What sold me was listening to Back in the USSR. They do miss on the not to big mark however.

Placement is key.  Not all speakers can be placed in the same position.  A KEF Reference speaker needs at least three feet from the front wall and the sidewalls, but a Wilson is totally different.  Even though it’s rear ported, Sonus Farber says that they are best at about 8” from the front wall. 
And of course, no to rooms are the same.

Your local porch pirate should be able to help you with that. Or, you might consider a Magnepan dealer.
