Kef uni-q owners help, to toe-in or not to toe-in?


i've had my 102/2's for quite some time now and have been happy with them (my budget requires me to be happy so i'm happy) but i've never been sure if i should toe them in or not- when i bought them years ago, the dealer said something about keeping them straight because of the uni-q arrangement- is this true? sometimes it seems like the highs are attacking my ears when they are toed-in but on some recordings, toe-in seems to work fine- please help me to stop fussing over speaker placement- thanks

I know that Uni-Q feeling. When I had KEF Q90's the manual mentioned the equilateral triangle and suggested slight toeing if desired, whatever slight means. A consensus of reviewers in one British stereo mag said straight ahead was best. I set mine up straight ahead. Like you, I tried them toed every so often, but I always went back to straight ahead because the tonal blend and the imaging seemed better.
