Speaker toe-in & stereo imaging


Recommendations seem to range from turning the front LR speakers to face the prime listening area directly to slightly turning the speakers in toward the prime listening area. What do you use, or is this question too speaker specific?

I'm going to be using a pair of bi-wired KEF Reference 104/2s for the front LR speakers, along with a pair of Velodyne HGS-10 subs crossing over at 50 Hz.

It is such an easy thing to test yourself with your own speakers in your own room, it is speaker and room specific.

In my experience most box type speakers with tweeter etc sound best overall with toe in about half way between straight ahead and directly pointing at listener. If speakers are very close together less toe in required. Want best compromise of wide sound stage but solid deep center.
