Yes, the Critical Distance for a given room/speaker combination is
often closer than you think! In PA applications sometimes it's
practically impossible to place the audience inside it.

Where's your hi-fi listening "sweet spot" in relation to the CD? In
any given room, the same for all speakers or not? When recording, I'm
used to monitoring well inside, but checking a mix from WAY outside -
like in the next room with the door shut!
