Speaker Placement and Toe-In

I just spent hours moving my Sopra 2’s with them sitting on the Townshend’s podiums #3. I kept intense measurements. My speakers are 115" from the woofer center to the other speaker woofer. I am sitting at that same distance from the L&R speakers’ middle centerline. They are 37" from the sidewalls to the sidewalls of the speaker.

I used one of those air bladder wedges that are used for lifting car doors and lifted each leg individually of the Townshend podium just enough to slide a furniture mover/disc under each leg.

What I found is that I prefer no Toe-In. That is, I prefer the speakers straight out into the room.

At least at this moment I am content.

The fact that you like no toe in, to me says more about your room, than about your speakers.

Bingo. My Treo’s have minor toe-in (had very little). But, something was bothering me yesterday, I didn’t feel I was getting a wide enough stage, and I know this sounds counter intuitive, but I toed-in both just slightly, and, wala, it worked. Wider stage.

No doubt, I chalk this up to my room more than the speakers.
