Should Genesis V's be toed-in?

I have Gen V's and they are (now) toed in -- about 55-60 degrees apart. I found that this position gave the best (i.e. most balanced / +-9db /) in room response at MY listening position.
Keeping them straight ahead achieves a laid-back presentation -- as newbee said, the manufacturer prefers you to listen off-axis. This probably gives a better unechoic response curve.

Ultimately, you'll have to experiment; put the controls on default position (I would switch off the servo amp) and try crossing the axis in front of the listening position keeping them equidistant from that position. Listen. Then, start toeing out, pivoting either the front right edge OR the back left of each speaker (as you see the speakers from lsitening position). In the one case, the speakers axis will be slightly lengthened, in the other case the listening axis will be shortened. Listen again and decide. Repeat if necessary.
You should be able to perceive microdetail effortlessly, while transient attack should be good.

Good luck!

Thanks gang! One more question. Where do most of you set the mid-range and treble controls on the back of the speakers?

I have the similar Genesis VI. My owner's manual recommends toeing-in and for me that's been good advice. Intriguing that the V's have contrary advice.

As for all the variables Genesis offers, I drive myself crazy fine-tuning

Controls: set the midrange at 2' (i.e. midway) and the front tweet at 12". The tweet setting is room dependent; so, choose a recording that is reputedly good and has natural sounds you recognise. Listen, then turn up the tweets on both speakers by 5". Listen again, etc. Choose the setting that's TONALLY the best (i.e. gives better balance with the rest of the spectrum.

I have owned Gen Vs for several years.
After "going by the book" for awhile, Scott Frankland moved them back towards the wall a bit and further apart. This created a huge soundstage but I lost a bit of depth. I found towing them in just slightly also helped, too.

Set-up properly, these speakers are some of the finest I've ever heard.
Good luck!
