Hello Forum,
I used to have a nearfield situation in my living room but that has changed now and I sit 3.3 m away from the speakers (non perfect triangle as well) in an untreated living room. Since I been using some Genelecs in the studio for a long time thought go the active route for the living room as well and got some used Buchardt A500s. Dialed in some room correction with a minidsp and dirac live but overall I think at this listening distance the reflections will muddy up the sound and it might be a waste to use such a "expensive" setup in an untreated room.
I have 2 SVS NSD12 in my basement and a 4 channel minidsp with a dirac licencse. Really wanted to get rid of the subwoofers to have a "cleaner" look that my missus will appreciate but all that got me thinking if I could save me a lot of money just putting some 8030s on top of the subs and call it a day. Am I wrong in assuming that at that listening distance I will always be overwhelmed by room influences? Are there speakers designed to work at higher distances something like a "farfield" monitor? I am not ready to spend 15k on one speakers as the Genelec chart would suggest.
Sorry my english is not very good but you guys might share your thoughts with me.
Cheers
