As these speakers are designed for near field, studio listening, I wonder how far is the max. listening distance before sound stage and imaging disappear? I usually sit 2-3 feet away from speakers when working on desk. However, I sometime want more lay back and sit further away and enjoy listening to music. Is 6-10 feet reasonable?

How long is a piece of string?
I don't think any of them have such uneven dispersion that they would completely fall apart at 2-3 m. The smaller models may get a bit dark at these kinds of distances (it'll depend on your room acoustics as well), and level handling may not be entirely what you want in LP-6v2, LP-UNF and A4V depending on your preferred volume. Plus, there's obviously the hassle of repositioning the speakers as needed - it goes without saying that a decent stereo triangle for 2-3' will be much too narrow at 6-10', and conversely you'd be approaching headphone operation the other way round.
