Recommendation of a good nearfield speaker


I know this question is probably asked a lot but, I want a speaker with a forward sound, almost like headphones. Any recommendations in the used or new 1500 - 2000 dollar range.

Hi

Has anyone ever use open baffle speakers in a near field listening environment?

I'm hoping to get a pair of open baffle speakers that feature the Audio Nirvana 'Super 12' Cast Frame Full Range drivers and was wondering if anyone has used them or any OB set-up in a nearfield environment. How did it sound?

I'm going to be approx 6ft away from the OBs and they would be about 5ft apart.

Thanks in advance.
