I know this question is probably asked a lot but, I want a speaker with a forward sound, almost like headphones. Any recommendations in the used or new 1500 - 2000 dollar range.
ProAc 1sc is hard to beat. I have those and a ProAc 140. Seems the 1sc wins, all the time. But of course, all listening must be done with the grilles off.
My recommendation would depend on how near of a nearfield you're talking about. Like less than 3 feet? And how would you expect to mount them: on a wall, on stands, on a shelf, etc.
My best experience with near field listening was with a pair of Acoustic Energy AE1 Signature, you can go for the newer version or which ever version that fits the budget.
I'd like to sit between 3-5 feet and use stands. I want something where the sound wraps around my head like headphones. Not a speaker with a deep soundstage that fills the room.
