HA, I already have a giant 32" monitor. I'll try moving the speakers back, but right now I have almost no space as the M2s and M3s are both on the desk.

I tried lowering the bass on the M3s. Its hard to tell if it really gets the mids of the M2s, because I have to level the EQ before I switch over to the M2s. I think its one of those things that I'll stop noticing when I stop switching between the M2s and M3s 20 times per song.

I have two questions, both about speaker distance. First off, I am very interested in knowing the required distance of the M5HPs. I was thinking of using a 30 or 40 watt/channel amp with them. If this is a viable setup, that's what I'm going to do.

The second is about the proper M2/M3 speaker distance. They are about 3.75 feet apart, toed in, and about 3 feet from my ears. I don't crank the speakers, but I want to make sure this isn't so close that I'm damaging my hearing.
