Hi Tim,
Although good speakers I've never felt pulling off the disappearing act is a core strength of B&W speakers. Haven't heard the De-Capos in person but from what I've heard I'd bet they do a much better job in this regard.
One monitor speaker I have heard extensively that does the disappearing thing magnificently is the Soliloquy 5.0 that you can get for around $1300 with cool and beefy matching stands. They are relatively tube friendly and work really well with nearfield positioning as they throw off a huge and transparent 3D soundstage, and they really bring the performance in the room. Worth a listen if you can find a dealer. Best of luck.
