Not seeing the sound


The other day, I was playing around with speaker positioning, and hit upon a spot where I could no longer "see" the sound coming out of the speakers directly. Now, the sound seems to be in different places relative to where the speakers stand, sort of in an etherial way. I like it. This may be a dumb question, but does this mean I've finally gotten a "soundstage?"

When you see the phrase "disappearing act" or "the speakers disappeared", this is what they mean. You hear the music, however, if you close your eyes you don't hear the music coming directly out of the speakers. This is a key audiophile attribute IMHO. If your speakers sound good tonally, have frequency response that is high and low enough for your taste and they also disappear, you've officially got yourself an audiophile system!

Enjoy it........
