Speaker setup experts please?


Are there any "rules of thumb" when it comes to placement of speakers in a listening room? For example, does toeing out widen soundtsage? Does on axis make the images larger or smaller? Bass response? I have also heard the ideal positioning of speaker/listener is 1/3rd-1/3rd or 1/5th/1/5th. Any consistent truths out there? BTW I have Wilson Maxx 2's. Thanks in advance.

there are a million rules, the Cardas works very well IMO
TAS's HP likes the rules of thirds, for instance if your room is 15 x 21 put the speakers 5 feet apart and 7 feet out into the room - 5 is 1/3 the width and 7 is 1/3 the length. This worked very well when I had Maggie 1.6s but they were so far out it was not practicle.
