Agree with all points above, but when I tried listening in the near field I lost a sense of openness and space compared to sitting in the far field — guess I was missing some of those room reflections. I don’t have much by way of room problems, so on balance and in my room I prefer far-field listening, but as always YMMV.
Near Field Listneing
Hello all!
Aside from the obvious reason of space constraints, are there any other reasons where near field listening/speakers would be preferred versus how one usually listens to music? IOW, with all things being equal, what would make a listener wish to have a near field setup versus a “traditional” one?
Thanks for any thoughts!
