Speaker Placement and Toe-In

Ozzy,

Congratulations.

To be honest, I hate futzing with speakers. My approach is to just make a little move every few weeks. If negative…. Back immediately.
 

if I don’t force a slower approach, I end up in a frenzied dervish of activity, wanting to get it over with and concerned I will end up with the system sounding worse than when I started.

Ideally, you want to talk a couple friends into spending two or three afternoons moving them for you while you relax and listen… without having to get up. I’m not sure what you would have to do to bribe them. I would feel so guilty, I would never allow myself time to actually make good judgements.

So, congradulations, sounds like you got there.

The equilateral triangle is a thing…. True more often then not.
 

The toe-in worth the search. Nothing wrong with being lazy for six months… then changing it a bit. Wait a while… then try something else. I am lazy… but over time, your system will sound amazingly better… the cost is really low.

The general recommendation for my speakers Sonus Faber Amati Traditional)  is to the “cross the beams” 18” behind the sweet spot. In my room that causes a very restricted soundstage. They sound best with no toe in, just like yours,
