It's not a specific distance. The non-technical answer -- nearfield is that listening area where the direct sound is greater than the room reflected sound.
KEF for Near-field?
I currently have KEF x300A for my desk.
I'm looking for a great near-field solution, and am open to thoughts. I'd rather something easy I can buy easily.
Options: I do already own a Peachtree Sky & Audioquest Bi-Wire Cables. I suppose I could move it into the LR (or attempt to sell, but the 300/R3 I can literally pop into place).
KEF R300: $1,200 (Current prices on sale).
R3: $2,000 (Worth the $800 premium over R300's?)
LS50 Wireless: $2,000 (Seems ideal; but scared of failure)

When I say "near-field", I mean the average person sitting nearby, such as at an executive desk. At my desk there's a good 5' separation with the 32" monitor and probably 4' to my chair. That's at least how I placed them, angled in with the app set to "extra" bass. Now the question is what's a good choice for the living room, at a reasonable cost? @audiotroy |
onhwy61 ... nearfield is that listening area where the direct sound is greater than the room reflected soundI can’t imagine a domestic scenario where reflected sound could be greater than the direct sound. For that to happen, I think you’d have to repeal the Law of Conservation of Energy. Unless, maybe, you’re using Bose 901s. |
