Howdy Head-o-philes!
My spousal unit has been on the warpath and I am trying out new arrangements for my speaker system. Tonight I had everything in an extreme nearfield with my speaks in about a 6 foot equilateral triangle to my listening position (ears). The sound was excellent, and after the second album (yes LP's!) I began zoning out to the wonderful Linda Ronstat record "Prisoner in Disguise" with the lights out. Suddenly I realized that at times it reminded me more than just a little of headphones, but with the staging in front of the head instead of behind. The nearfield has a much more immersive feel to it than the more detached 10th row seat my system usually has. It was really kinda neat...
Just thought you'd like to know.
Cheers, gb
