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.

I have 1.7is w/  about 20-25 degree toe-in, tweeters inside in a fairly large room and the soundstage is pretty wide for me.  I sit 9ft away and the sweet spot is  about 5ft across.  In my room, the soundstage varies from just the sweet spot to deep behind the speakers and a few feet wide of them ( speakers are 10ft apart), depending on the music.  I’ve experimented with less toe-in to straight on; both sound good but I  prefer the tighter sweetspot (no one else in the household  can stay still and just listen  enough  for me to widen it)…BUT, I will try the incremental method again to see far wide I go and still keep the amazing detail.
