Dutch & Dutch 8c and call it done!  
Nearfield listening - once more
I suspect that there's some confusion over what the term Nearfield actually means. Nearfield and Farfield are acoustic terms to describe the ratio of of direct vs reflected sound. If in the listening position you get more direct sound from the so... 
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
@OP, we (Dutch & Dutch) are currently working on an in-home demo program which should be off the ground within the next few weeks. The 8c, an active speaker, might not be for you, but it’s one of the most accurate (in-room, not just anechoic)...

Apologies for the slow response. I’m just seeing this thread foe the first time. For those who were able to visit us at AXPONA, we’re very happy that you enjoyed the sound. Regarding streaming, the 8c are a Roon endpoint. To that, you can stream...
