When I close my eyes the speakers disappear. Not just visually (lol)
but audibly.
Having my eyes open messes all things up. I start thinking the sound
image isn't centered because my room isn't perfectly symmetrical around
my bay window. I'm slowly getting my pumpkin trained to ignore my
In my experience, the answer to the question (Should one hear sound
directly from the speakers) is that it depends on the recording.
Also of relevance, I have found any loudspeaker will tend to image
better in a bigger room.

When sitting in the sweet spot my speakers are not heard until the
recording itself positions something directly there.
So if you have recordings that don´t sound like content coming from the
speakers on one system but it does on another system it is strange.
Maybe the bigger speakers simply are
I often read reviews that claim speakers disappeared in the room. My
interpretation is that they couldn't tell the sound were directly from
the speakers. I'd like to hear comments on this subject.
On my main system, I can hear sound directly from the speakers. The

I had a pair of BW 601's and they were superb little speakers and I had
much the same experience as you.
It wasn't until I changed to Magnepan MMG's and then Quad ESL63's that
I could get them to entirely disappear it depends on the recording as
to where the instruments are placed.
YMMV

My question is: should one hear sound directly from speakers? Or should
the speakers disappear as some reviewers put it? I am not sure that
speakers should disappear with the right setup.
I use a test CD from Chesky Records and there is a track to caliberate
audio images. It seems to suggest
Geez, this is such a subjective area! For instance the alarm clock on
Dark Side of the Moon always startles me even though I know it's
coming. ELO's Wild West hero always gives me goosebumps. I guess I tend
to get somewhat lost in the music rather than paying attention to where
it's coming from.

Try putting your main speakers in your second system in the same

In my setup I find I only hear the speakers if they're toed-in too far

To answer the original question... it depends entirely on what the
speaker designer was aiming to achieve. There is no right or wrong
here; some speakers are designed to try and offer pinpoint imaging,
others aim for a more diffuse soundfield. Some are just odd (Bose,
Sonabs, Linn 'Bariks etc)
