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)

Cleeds, I said it was a non-technical answer. Here's a link to the technical answer. There's a reason why so many audiophiles think the room is the most critical component. |
