As you guys may have read already, the issue of headphones depresses me. Well, not literally! But anyways, I just LOVE the sound of my modest Energy C-3 speakers hooked up to my pioneer a-35r amp. Even cheapo computer speakers sound good in a way that headphones can't replicate. But I've always told myself that there's no way around using headphones, because my living situation has severlely constricted my space, so large bookshelf speakers just don't work. What has grabbed my interest though, are the RS1 speakers by monitor audio that was recently talked about in this forum as well. I've never heard of these types of monitors, but I guess that they fit into the category of "mini-monitors?" Then that hit me, is there such a thing as "nearfield" speakers? Sure enough, google seems to point to some websites referring to the idea of nearfield speakers. Now I'm excited! Can any of you tell me what options there are for speakers that can be placed on a desk and listened to at that close of a range? Would it be okay that there is a wall right behind the desk? I just want to know everything there is about mini/nearfield speakers and how they can be used in my situation. Thanks guys!
