Toe-In or Toe-Out


I always listen for a long time, with a bit of toe-out, just behind my head.  But I try again, for the second time, and for my room, I find the sound is much more coherent, with less saturation, in fact I can play a little bit louder without fatigue and saturation of music, like just in my face sound.  In fact it is more easy to listen to my music.  It is not a big move to make, just experimentation, it worth to try, for free.

I forgot to mentionned, and complete my phrase...  But now, I use the Toe-in just in front of my head, instead of behind.  My speakers are 62 inches centre to centre.  May be it is because of open space room and my ears.  I have also notice, that when my chair is more on the right side, 1 foot of the centre, I heard a less fatigue music and little bit more high frequency , probably my ear and open space room.  Thank you all.

 

noromance, I will try straight ahead next time, may be it is because of the fold AMT diffusion Tweeter ?

oldhvymec, Thank you for your help.  Have you a dB and laser model device to suggest me ?  I am now writing you from my computer situated in the back left cornerof my open space room, all curtains are now closed, and the sound is better than on my listening chair, it is realy weird, isn't it ?  Thank's again.

stereo5, you are correct, with the age the ear goes bad with time, and also the open room is another issue.  Thank you

oldhvymec, I check my right speaker, it was 11/2 inche to far from the right.  I check the front wall, 26 inches, it was OK for both.  I have tried, near listeng field, but I prefer far listening. in my 17x22 feet x 8 h.  My speakers are 61 inches centre to centre.  My ear, on my chair are 131 inches from centre of the speakers.  And it is now better.  How is important the positionning !  Thank you.  Not easy in getting old ...

noromance,  I just move them closer with just a little "hair" toe-in, (48 inches) and I find the music more coherent and lively.  I will keep them in that positioning.  Thank you.
