How does speaker placement affect the width of the soundstage?


The soundstage of my ATCSCM 40s isn’t as wide as I would expect it to be and I’m wondering if that could be due to placement. The room itself is almost too complicated to explain.

I am no expert but I can offer that in my room toeing in the speakers more reduces the width of the soundstage and re-enforces the center image.  Just the opposite with toeing out the speakers.  I prefer a more toed out positioning but not so much that I lose the center image. I think many people have too much toe in on the speakers.  Depends on room too.  Also, small adjustment in angle, like an inch, can make a big difference.  This was surprising to me.
