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 done both. With my Maggies, I have the tweets on the outside. I honestly din;t hear much difference regarding toe. Contrary to old wives tales, Maggie ribbons have excellent dispersion.

I remember when I for Tritons, Sandy Gross recommended having them as far apart as possible and toed in pretty severely. I don't even recall if I ever tried it.
