In Reply to: What exactly constitutes a 'near field' setup ? posted by AbeCollins on July 18, 2014 at 22:26:21:
.., except in the relative sense. In many instances the speakers will be close to the listener. Even a cramped desktop system may not qualify as "near-field" if reflected sounds are contributing too much. You can be sitting very close to your speakers and still not be in the near-field (if reflections from backwalls, sidewalls, desktops, and other enclosures are competing with the direct sound of the speakers)!
Whenever direct sound dominates reflected sound, we have "near-field". In a very large room the speakers could be a fair distance from the listener.
