Near Field Listneing


Hello all!

Aside from the obvious reason of space constraints, are there any other reasons where near field listening/speakers would be preferred versus how one usually listens to music?  IOW, with all things being equal, what would make a listener wish to have a near field setup versus a “traditional” one?

Thanks for any thoughts!

Dear @arvingcastro : I agree with @teajay  that avoiding room self reflections/resonances always gives us and put us nearer to the MUSIC.

In the other side almost all the recorded MUSIC was made it by recording microphones " seated " at near field position from the MUSIC source and that's what we in theory can listen in our systems.

Every time I need to make an audio item comparisons or test evaluations I listen ate nearfield position and after that I return to my usual far seat position.IMHO the best way to appreciate the true of MUSIC is seated at near field position.

Like it or not room self " sound " always is a problem that any audiophile try to handle in the best way where the room " can't " speak by it self because always contaminates the listening sessions.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.
