Far listening....

Post by jbassino »

Have you ever noticed mixing an album that you kind of get a better "picture" of whats going on when you sit back a few feet apart from your sweet spot ? In my case im using A7's and it kind of hurts (not exactly) when listenin so "close", i mean with Close, the reasonable distance you should use with near field monitors. My point being made is, I think im not that much into near field speakers and i'm looking for more of a "mid field" speakers or sort to speak.
Maybe even the A7's will do fine if they were further apart from me, like, flush mounted.

Just to share that experience, anybody felt the same?

Definitely. The closer the monitors, the more it starts to sound like headphones to me.
