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 Magnepan 3.7i speakers.  I have experimented with many different degrees of toe in.  I have found for my room that having the tweeter ribbon on the inside and just a few degrees of toe in works for me.   The speakers disappear and have an expansive soundstage.  Huge width and depth.    When I oriented the speakers with the tweeter ribbon on the outside the center fill went to pot!  As with all things YMMV!
