    Near-Field Listening: Acquired Taste or Proper Paradigm?

    Well I decided for the time being to go with the BA A60s in vertical position but with the tweeters on the bottom which is approximately the right height. Sounds better than the horizontal with woofers on the outside. But I am looking at getting a pair of KLH 32s in the near future since I am...

    Near-Field Listening: Acquired Taste or Proper Paradigm?

    I am seeing that the AR6 is also around 20 inches high and might be a possibility for my setup but am also seeing that it might have a more "west coast" bass heavy sound than is typical of East Coast speakers.

    Near-Field Listening: Acquired Taste or Proper Paradigm?

    I am just now getting back into critical listening after many years of not doing so. Don’t intend to spend gobs of money on this but I want a decent listening experience and am trying to set up a private listening area in a spare bedroom where there is an armchair close to some bookshelves...
