Near Field Monitor
Monitor designed to have a sweet spot that is about 3-4 feet from the listener. (The term is in common usage but believed to be a trademark of Edward M. Long Associates of Oakland, CA.)
“In the late ’60s and ’70s, the room had to be shaped. People would spend fortunes on making the actual room a certain shape, all the audio-dynamical shapes. I think architects made a fortune in that ten-year period. It didn’t do much for the music; you know, music is either happening or it’s not.”- Jon Anderson of Yes
