KEF owners, how are your speakers positioned?

I have Reference 5’s, the fronts are  4’ from the front wall, aimed straight out, 8’ apart and 8’ from my listening position.  I was curious how other KEF owners had their speakers pointed, straight forward or toed in and if so, how much?  How did toeing them in change the sound?

I called KEF and they recommended them to sit straight forward, but I have seen them toed in, per reviews of both amplifiers that were using them and the speakers themselves.

Thanks All.

Thanks @christianb5s4 

I’ve been play around with mine and I do hear a difference with the 5’s toed in 5-7° also.

Thanks @steve59 

It seems the group agrees that a few degrees of toe-on sounds better. My 5’s are set about the same as yours, but I might have a few more degrees of toe-in.  I’m doing it by ear, so I haven’t measured anything yet.
