"Toe" is a term from automotive wheel alignment referring to wheels' geometric relationship to straight ahead on the vertical axis. Zero degrees is straight ahead. Some loony reviewers cannot figure it out.  Speakers are for ambiance and pleasure... 
Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs
Cables are like woofer coils. It's  copper and how much.    
DAC options to consider for Innuos streamer
