Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.

It depends on a few things, but I have found that speaker placement is mostly speaker dependent. I had a pair of KEF Reference 5 speakers that sounded their best when almost facing straight forward and 3’-4’ from the front wall. The Sonus Farber speakers I have now sound best when aimed at my shoulders and 3’ from the front wall.

I can't immediately which ones, but there are speakers on the market with rising high frequencies, that are too bright when toed in, but sound great when toed out. 

The slight loss of high frequencies due to horizontal off axis response, compensates perfectly.

Isn’t dispersion of speakers ‘and’where the heck all your furniture is in a room incredibly important? Most people don’t sit in rooms with a single chair and only their audio system. They have other furniture and this affects things.

The design included a few comments above is a nice schematic but it fails to account for furniture but it is helpful

i put in straight cause it looks good that way.  i never played with tow in.  

 

Most dudes who fire it forward tend to have a hot tweeter.

Brilliant!
