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?

@rlb61 ,
You are welcome. It is fun when the loudspeakers disappear. I am like "a kid in a candy shop" when this happens.
@georgehifi  ... any idea where I can get that disc? I looked on Amazon and the Chesky website, but couldn't find it.
Milpai makes it sound far harder than it really is. I just plunk mine down roughly where the need to be and get them within an inch or so of being equal from the wall. The room isn't at all symmetrical so I don't bother with side wall measurements. That gets me great depth and width with a tad bit more spacial flare to the right that you barely notice. If you're trying to position speakers to .125 inches, they simply don't have any ability to image.

@georgehifi ... thanks. I looked for "DJ 37 Sampler" instead of "Vol. 1." Unfortunately, it's a digital download only and I'm a CD dinosaur.
