I never like the amount of room sound I get at anything more than about a foot. It's all in your room acoustics. I recorded some tracks years ago at Joe Weed's studio. Beautiful place with the whole studio treatment, right down to isolated floating floors. He put a pair of U89's out about 5 feet, and it sounded like they were 2 inches away. But I don't have a half a million $ in my room construction....
