If listening to 2.0 music via the Dolby Surround upmix, you probably want to turn on "Centre Spread". (Then you'll just need to worry about the light reflections from the top of the R2C.) And readjust distance/level settings and/or rerun Audyssey.Ĭertainly the centre's going to be doing more work than the L+R. Sound reflections from the top of the cabinet will be generating an uneven response. I can do like 3 inches away, that's it.įirst of all, reposition the R2C so it's at the front edge of your cabinet. I wonder if at such short listening differences the LS50 Meta can eek out an advantage, especially since I'm comparing R3 to a speaker where the tweeter and the normal driver are at the same spot.Īlso, page 9 of the R3 manual states the minimum recommended distance of the R3 from the wall is 9 inches. The R3 have better preference score but it's for far field.
The LS50 Metas don't go as loud in the bass but I'm already sitting so close. I bring this up because I sit very close to my speakers currently out of nessesity.
Neumann has minimum listening distance recommendations for their speakers and they increase as their speakers get larger.

There they even give estimates based on specific models, with larger models needing you to sit further away from the different drivers so the sound is more coherent. For example here is a page by Genelec about sitting too close to their speakers harming sound quality: I think listening too close is not good for sound quality.
