Post Subject: Nearfield Listening vs. Performance Weight and "Space"Posted by Paul S on: 4/2/2018
I also listen nearfield in order to embed myself in the sound/music, and it's not just a matter of SPL. I think I get what Romy is saying, but I am saying I think we have to correct reproduced sound deficiencies at/below LF if we want a "realistic" sense of time/space/scale. Drivers/speakers have rising response, X/Os and stacking drivers notwithstanding. Also, artifacts/noise at higher frequencies adds disproportionately to the sound we get from hi-fi. We can certainly "listen through" or "listen past" distortion and/or omissions. Part of the hobby for me is milking content by hearing "more" from recorded music, including some war horses that are much-loved for good reason.
