Best speakers for near-field listening?


Hello everyone, I am in dire need of speakers that will be placed in a very confined space. The distance from couch to speakers will be at most 4 feet! I was considering MeadowLark's until I saw the user manual's 7ft minimum recomendation. I am currently thinking about Maggie MMG's despite there slighty large size... Anyone out there have any suggestions? Price from $500 - $1500. Thanks!

I would not hesitate to stick with the Meadowlarks (kestrels or shearwaters) and I think the Proac Studio 100 is an excellent recommendation (a colored but beautiful sounding speaker that you could sit right next to if you wanted. The key to enjoying sound in small rooms is stay small and stick with tubes. Best of luck
