I agree with those who talk about speaker placement being the key to the disappearing act that you are looking for. With that being said no speaker disappeared in my listening room the way that the Audio Physic Virgos did. I believe that their narrow baffle design and quality drivers are the reason behind their amazing ability to throw a wide soundstage.
They did not last very long in my listening room. I found them a little bright and a little thin for my taste. There are many others who find what I call bright and thin to be lively and realistic. I now have a pair of B&W 803's and find them to be more to my liking. They do not throw as wide a soundstage as the virgos did. They do seem to present more depth and are easier to listen to. Good luck.
