Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.
I’ve been experimenting with toe in and tweeter position (inside v. outside) for my LRS and ProAC Studio 3 speakers. My listening position is about 8.5 feet from the speakers front surface.
In both cases I ended up with tweeters on the inside and zero toe in. I like the more immersive soundstage I get with zero toe in. I sacrifice a little of the lock in for the center image.
Zero toe in also makes my sweet spot for listening a little wider.
Sorry about the incorrect spelling and the missing question mark in the subject. I couldn’t edit the subject.
@immatthewj ...a ’hot tweeter’, hmmmm..... Is either REALLLY BRIGHT or on the verge of cooking it’s voice coil..... The first is easy to cure, eq, xover... The second? Been there, did just that, you will get p*ssed.... Not the 1st, certainly not the last by anything I've read here at some time or 'nother... ;) How much to fix? 🤷♂️ (I can be a clueless as the next...) |
The nice part of an omni is that toe-in or out is irrelevant. Nearfield becomes indulgent, but nothing in between except a single floor sub and the wall-mounted flat screen. Fun on a desktop without having to wear 'phones..... A/B or D don't matter, haven't trialed a straight-up A, but I'll get round 2it... ;) |
Yeah, @immatthewj ....the second is generally due to 'overappreciation' of what's queued up and toe-whatever is the least concern in mind.... ;) However, since it was one of my diy's, the repair shop is very conveniently located...it's the guy at the bench one can issues with, but friendly most of the time....*L* Have a good weekend, J |
