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.
My Yamaha NS-5000's fire straight ahead 0 degrees toe. Tweeters/midranges are inboard. My listening distance is 13 feet with the speakers 8 feet apart 2 feet from the rear wall. Same with my Tekton OB Sigmas in the bedroom but for a slightly smaller triangle with them 3 feet off the back wall for the open baffle effect. |
Avalon Acoustics Eidolons, 6’4” from front wall, 1/4” toe in. My wife was in radio and when her friends visit they ask, why are those speakers in the middle of the room? She drops the tonearm on an LP, then come the requests.

@tomic601 Truth. It's as simple as that. See what you prefer. It varies by speaker, room size, and seating position. |
