Would the M22ti's work well for nearfield listening? (like about 1 to 1.5 meters)

I use the M22s as nearfield monitors.

they work well, still sound great, but you do sacrifice some imaging.

I tried that once. It felt too awkward to leave them that way. It was neat to try though. You really get to hear every nuance of the speakers. Something fun to try on a rainy day.

Just got my M22s. They do indeed work well as nearfield monitors.

And I thought my cable management was bad.
