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.

ghdprentice, Also, since my left ear has lost some hearing loss, I think moving the speakers closer together helps a lot in terms of a better balanced soundstage and better consistency at high frequencies.  I believe that having them closer together there is less interference caused by reflections from side walls, and also direct sound from the speakers, given the difference in hearing in my left ear. I am very happy to have experimented with positioning, and I suggest it to all music lovers.
