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 Maggie 3.7i and regular 3.7s before that. In about 10 years, I’ve tried everything I could think of, and with these speakers, movements of 1/4 inch make quite a noticeable difference. I’ve ended up with the tweeters out and very little toe-in, about 1/2 inch, just a couple of degrees. They are on the long wall of a room that is 14x18 x 8 feet with wide doorways on each side of the Maggies. Audiophiles who visit comment on the wide, deep and tall soundstage with nearly pinpoint imaging. After 50 years in this hobby, I am a very happy man!
