I am at a quandary over this very issue. From the day I installed my speakers I had them toed in to aim about two feet behind my head. After a year of listening and then going to a local audio store. I thought there is no way my speakers are set up right. Like even sitting in dead center, was like I knew where the speakers were. and a little too top end. So for S&G I toed them right out flat. And low and behold. the most beautiful sound and soundstage I've witnessed for the first time with my speakers. More bass. More clarity. Flat out. No toe. Go figure. That's where they are staying until some expert listens to them and can explain why it should be anything different. How is this anomaly possible?
Question about speaker angle
I've always been under the impression that your front main speakers should be angled so that the "face" of the speaker is basically perpendicular with the listener's face when viewing the speakers from the sweet spot. I do however see others placing the speakers parallel or inline with the surface of the wall behind the speakers. I'm wondering, how much loss to the sonic sound stage this creates.
