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 been experimenting with  speaker position including toe in. I was listening to a David Crosby cut off "if I could only remember my name", and heard wonderful instrument placement, artificial or otherwise. I went back to what had been my original listening position that had provided a great sound stage earlier but found when I listened to the same song,  what was a fairly precise location had totally evaporated and it was merely a piano coming from somewhere. I have tape on the floor so I put it back where it was. The total distance that I rotated the speaker was less than half an inch.
