Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging...

... First off I have a odd room for my two channel listening and have been getting beat up trying to find proper placement. I have been reading a lot here and on the inter web and decided to use the room setup calculator on the Cardas site. ( http://www.cardas.com/room_setup_calculators.php )

#1 was how close to each other the speakers are now. I wouldn’t have placed them that close together.

#2 was that the best imaging and staging is with zero toe in.

Having a hard time wrapping my head around these changes but it’s the best my system has sounded since I finished the putting it together. lol

I have a hard time understanding why anything between the speakers would affect the soundstage:  the sound doesn't come from between the speakers, but rather from the speakers on each side, which, in stereo make it sound like the sound is coming from between the speakers.  Please explain your rationale. 
Thanks.

When I go to that Cardas site, it only tells me distance from side and rear walls, but nothing about toe it, etc.  Did you just experiment with toe in?
Thanks.
