Think of speakers as backwards microphones, which they are, you would always want to point the microphones exactly at the thing you want to record because the mic is designed to be most accurate on axis. Off axis coloration in microphones is very important and the thing that separates good and poor sounding mics same with speakers they sound most accurate exactly on axis.
So
Point your speakers at your ears the left speaker at your left ear and the right speaker at your right ear. The off axis coloration of speakers is best dealt with by room acoustics. Thinking of speakers as reverse microphones makes many things in acoustics obvious.
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.
