Speaker Positioning


I have a very small listening room. My Mirage bi polar M5's are about 7 feet apart and my head is about 7 feet from them when I'm in my listening chair. Should I toe them in and point towards the chair or point them straight ahead?

Great suggestions above.
One more: If your back is against the wall, a big tapestry or something even thicker right behind you will help greatly to reduce reflections. It will make your room appear larger sonically (I think) and should get rid of some harsh sounding reflections.
Great speakers!!!
Shadorne says: """In essence a biploar is like having a virtual second set of speakers placed behind your rear wall at the same distance as your speakers are from the rear wall => you actually hear four speakers ...really I am serious!! Therefore toe in or out will do very different things compared to a conventional speaker.""" Yes, indeed, I have bi-polar speakers too (Superslim 1800se, from www.ambiencespeakers.com.au) I love that Ribbon Sound but at the same time the back firing wave has to be neutralized. I am getting a few GIK 4" thick Acoustic Panels. I think prety much all bi-polars must deal with the same problem either taking them away from the back walls (as far as possible) or absorbing those waves with some kind of Room Acoustic Treatment. Best, Antonio Machado.
Antonio:
A friend has Magnepan's 3.6 and had to deal with glass behind his speakers. After testing with different options we opted for using absorbing panels and vertical blinds. At the end the result was surprisingly good since he can balance the absorption amount to avoid too much taking into acount the other treatments in the room.
Drastic difference between fully open and closed blinds. Nice fine tunig tweak BTW. Luis
You did not mention how far from the side walls they are or if you treat the first order reflection points. If the speaker is not to bright facing you then do that. What you could do is face them straight ahead and slowely toe in until the center fill image is as tight/small as you can make it (realistic) then stop.
