what speakers do the best "disappearing act"??
I want speakers that totally envelop you in sound....so much so that it is non-directional, and sound seems to be coming from everywhere in the soundstage...

when I listen to music even with my eyes closed I can tell exactly where my 2 speakers are located and most of the sound eminates directly from them these 2 speakers..so maybe it's time to upgrade..my system is a pair of NHT 3.3, wadia 850 cdp, and odyssey monoblock amps.

Some speakers are designed with a more focused dispersion like Dunlavys and with thier angled baffles the NHT. These speakers are designed to address room reflections but are more of a "sweetspot" speaker.

Many quality small monitors will do that "out of box" thing, Totems come to mind. I have heard very cheap Mission 771s do it. I think beyond driver and x-over design that baffle area and cabinet design have much to do with it. But on the other hand I have heard it from much larger speakers too. Adding a sub with a steep x-over and a quiet cabinet will help with that all around sound.
Sean was also dead on when he talked about a preamp making the big change in his system. The electronics you use will define the limits your speakers will achieve, and many believe the hardest part to get right is the preamp. Maybe Sean will mention the preamp that sounds so good with his large speakers?
