Best speaker in nearfield listening


I have heard that Audio Physic is great in the nearfield listening position. I sit six to seven feet from the speaker. My budget is up to 5K used. I really want to make this work in a very close listening environment.

My Verity Audio Parsifal Encores (front-firing bases) are extraordinarily coherent in the nearfield. "Hey, they're $13k new!" Yup, but the top-half satellites (Parsifal Monitors) cost only $5500 list new!...and measure even flatter in the nearfield (although they roll off below 60Hz). If you could find a used pair of these for around $3k I'd STRONGLY suggest you get 'em! 'Stat-like speed and transparency with GREAT jump-factor. And small, too.
Good luck. Ern
