Interesting Near Field Article

[tacman7]

I was looking at this months webzine:

Universal Audio Webzine | Studio Basics

I had changed from having my monitors on a flat plane because of an article I read some time back which said to point them at your ears like headphones.

This is similar but recommends a 30degree angle.

I have to do critical listening just to see if my ears have gotten worse. Friday night was I was standing in front of my boxes looking for a spot I might find stereo.

At any rate, I tested the angle of the ear along with varying the amount of reflection from behind the head.

In my case, stereo positioning/placement is kinda tuff. I simply have to get close and try and detect the differences. I get a better sense from easy chair listening than I do from near field.
