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.

The short answer is “It depends…”

as for a longer answer. I do not think I can add anything of interest that has not already been said. 
 

As a general rule, I keep them mostly parallel with the rear wall, toed in maybe a couple of degrees at best, but sometimes I need a change, and I toe them in. 
 

in other words, not only does it depend on your room and equipment, it depends on your mood that day.
