i have a different interpretation of the terms 'near-field' and 'far-field'.i think of 'near field' as different than 'close' and 'far-field' as different than 'far'. those terms have to do with the listening position's relative distance to the speaker relative to the distance between the speakers.
therefore when ears are closer than the width between the speakers you are in the 'near-field'.....the degree of 'near-field' can vary......"the very near-field" or "slight near-field". the same with 'far-field'.....farther than the width between the speakers.
obviously 'mid-field' is a listener at the precise point of the equalateral triangle.
if not used this way it seems it would be quite useless a description as near and far already cover that better and are no less precise.
i could be totally wrong.....that is always how i have used the terms.
