Near-field for me, I always have and probably always will. Its the best way for me, I sit right in the SPOT and let the music fall all around me. I love it that way, a nice comfortable volume, close my eyes and I'm in!!!!
My main rig is in my unfinished basement, roughly 35x25 feet.I listen nearfield when sitting and just enjoying the music.I listen farfield when playing pool!
I would think room dimensions would have a factor in any listening format, if you believe that the room itself is a component, which I do. My room is 17' long and my Lorelei's sit 7' apart in an 11' width, being 44" from the front wall. I sit a little over 7' from my front Lorelei's, 4' from my rear Lorelei's. Guess that would make me a borderline case,,, or so I've been told. Cheers,Robin
For sure, Robin. My listening room is 12X15X8' which requires nearfield listening if I am to get the kind of 3D immersion with the event that makes me happy. Tonality and frequency linearity are very good, too, where I have my speakers placed.
