I use Quad ESL57 in a relative nearfield position. See Virtual System. Imaging is excellent.
Nearfield listening - once more
I have a small nearfield pinpoint satellite speaker system, as well as a large floorstander speaker system, at home. I am intrigued by the fact that the small system does some things as well or even better than the big system. How can that be. A few questions:
1 - how can big speakers be tuned /positioned towards optimal nearfield listening?
2 - what are the main things to consider, to get optimal nearfield sound, with smaller speakers? (I already know that speaker stands and positioning are key elements).
