ye i just had a look on htfr. ive googled monitor fatiguing and im not 100% sure what it is?
also these would be on a computer desk infront of me, so i guess that qualifies as 'close-something' monitoring? would they be good for that/would i need them? nice one for the help
fatiguing as in your ears will tire...
prolonged exposure to sound especially
at high sound pressure levels will dull
your sense of hearing and eventually do
damage... after a long session what you
hear may not be entirely accurate...
the KRKs are well known as low fatiguing
monitors...
if your space is limited you will want
"near field" monitors with smaller drivers...
especially if you are going to be sitting
close to the monitors...
the way sound is presented by speakers
is three dimensional.... the depth of field
is the front to back positioning of the
sound... the stereo imaging is the left
to right "width" of the sound...
and every set of speakers will have a
"sweet spot" the optimum place to listen
from... dictated by driver size, volume
and the design of the monitors and their
placement in the room...
monitors should be set up to for an
equilateral triangle... with you and the
"sweet spot," at the apex...
i found the samson r5s to have amazing
stereo imaging and depth of field...
and due to the ribbon tweeters the sound
was clear and defined...
the roll off surprisingly low for 5 inch
drivers... noticeably lower than the
KRKs which i AB them against...
