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've owned three pair of Vandersteens and believe Richard recommended straight ahead.  But he also recommended some distance from sidewalls which is addressed by others here.  

Some other speakers I've owned worked best  aimed just behind my head.

So another vote for "depends on  the design of the speaker and room set up".
