I had Fact 8's for between a year or two and I learned what "speakers disappearing" really means.
I would put on the Cars "Candy-O" MFSL gold disc and be mesmerized by the pinpoint positions that sounds appeared in my room. In no way did it seem like music came from the slim towers that were in front of me.
Nevertheless, the lack of a bass foundation made them fatiguing while listening. But the clarity and neutrality set a benchmark for me, at the time. It was the best I'd ever heard.
I'd love to hear how improved bass and midrange weight add to the attributes I remember about the Fact 8.
Beautiful finish on the speakers, as well.
