Speaker toe-in is room and speaker dependent. Vivid recommends toe in with beams crossed just in front of your head in your seated listening position. I gradually toed out until I achieved the best balance between frequency response and staging/imaging. The beam crosses behind my head. If I approximate angle, towed in is 15-20 degrees. My listening room is my living room in my small house, so I am limited and from a room perspective. I rate the room poor; but it’s the best I can do. No toe-in reduces image density and affects frequency response in my room with my speakers.
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.
