In Reply to: What listening distance is designed into 2-way nearfield monitors? posted by IanS on December 14, 2004 at 20:18:59:

On average nearfields are designed to be listened to at distances of roughly one to two meters. If you must go closer than that then coincident sources are really the only way to get proper integration. Also keep in mind that in a studio setting very seldom is mixing done with the nearfields exclusively.
