Properly set up ESL57s can do that magical disappearing thing about as well as anything out there. The caveats being:
1) You have to be in the smallish sweet spot
2) They are far better suited to small scale, limited dynamics music (chamber music, folkies/singer-songwriters and intimate acoustic jazz - not so much brass heavy big bands) than to Mahler symphonies or the Peter Brotzmann Tentet).
3) "Properly set up" implies that both the electronics and the room are dialed.
I've heard the Gallos and I've heard the ESL57s in numerous contexts and I don't think your speakers are the issue.
