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.

Room, speaker and somewhat system dependent. Focal Aria’s with narrow baffles and clear, clean (not bright, but extended) tweeters set up with very little toe-in. Klipsch Forte’s in same system toe-in almost 45 degrees. I fiddled with placement A LOT!

Both have wide holographic sound stage that extends beyond the cabinets and can disappear with a good recording. The Klipsch soundstage is wider, taller and deeper. I’d say the Focal soundstage is more warm and intimate. I love them both, just depends on music playing, time of day and mood I’m in which set prevails.
