This question has to do with your room size and your speaker design. In my very small room, I have experimented both ways, toed in and straight ahead. The toed in position works fine, but I notice that I do lose some imaging specificity. I also find that on some recordings, the brass instruments can be a little too much in your face, so for me, straight ahead is the answer.
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.
