Speaker Asylum

"Nearfield" = direct sound dominating reflected sound... So that's not "nearfield".

It's a dingleberry delight but this guy ain't hearing "nearfield" sound.

Regardless of how close to the speakers you sit, ample physical space all around the speakers (or full-range acoustic absorption) is a necessary ingredient. Otherwise, reflected sound from the frontwall and/or backwall, sidewalls, ceiling, and floor will destroy the "nearfield" effect.

  It's bad high-fi, times 7.
  "Nearfield" means more than simply sitting very close to your speakers. Even a small computer desktop system may not truly be a nearfield one if it's improperly set up.
