A lot of speakers even very large ones can work successfully in a near field set up if you know what you're doing. You can also look at studio monitors that are designed for near field listening that are easier to place. If your problem is imaging then I suggest that you look at your room and placement. I don't know what's behind your speakers or on your floor nor anything about the acoustical issues in your room. You need to assess all that and play around with both your speaker placement and your listening position. Your listening room is a critical component of your system!
Speaker for nearfield listening?
I am looking to get some feedback from members on speakers that are best for nearfield application. I am at about six feet at my listening position. I have a pair of Nola Boxers and they sound great except the imaging could be more convincing. I think they would be better if my position could be a little farther back. Any suggestions for speakers that would sound better at 6 feet?
