January 29, 200818 yr comment_91678 Hey OJ, how do you have your A7s setup? I've been hoping to find some monitors I could just set on either side of my computer monitor for easy near field listening. I don't even know if it is sonically possible to achieve good sound with this type of positioning. Report

LS3/5a's work real well nearfield also. I've had my Special 25's nearfield, and although it worked (I had them above my monitor, upside-down, and pointed slightly down at my ears), I would recommend something more along the lines of midfield for them. They sounded better a couple feet back. Basically, it depends on the speaker. Most studio monitors designed for the home studio should work in the nearfield, as that is their intended application.

Sounds good Peter, thanks for sharing! My concern isn't so much the nearness (I would expect monitors to work well nearfield) as their placement on the desk. Quad 12Ls are something I've considered, since I like the sound signature of my 22Ls so much, so I'm glad to hear of your positive experience with them in the exact same situation I'd like to hear them.
