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.

The R107/2 and R105/3 were about 12-16 " in from yhe corners, the

blades have a full 3' ofd space around each of them, about 8' apart and listening seat from 8-11' away. A little toe in but I can still see the inside drivers.

I don't notice a change in imaging as much as tonal balance, If I point the speakers directly at me the upper mids are too prominent. All my uniq speakers responded like that although the Blades are much smoother than previous versions.
