Speakers that disappear


Here is a description of a speaker found in TAS, the recommended components issue:
"... simply don't sound like other speakers. The Xes are tonally neutral and nearly sonically invisible; voices and instruments don't seem to be coming from drivers in frames or boxes. Instead they hang in space, free-standing objects that are so three-dimensionally "there" that listening to *them* is like going to a play, where listening to other speakers is like going to the movies."

Tvad is absolutely right - set them up on your front lawn for a couple of days - they are sure to disappear.
Castle Acoustics models with the top firing driver.

Yes indeed they do a good disappearing act. They were good. I heard they also went out of business - so disappeared that way too.
Or is that a good thing?

It is good thing. With nobody to fight over the remote control, you can order a pizza and watch the hockey game in peace with the added bonus of no need for an effort to make meaningful conversation at the dinner table!
