Speaker toe-in & stereo imaging


Recommendations seem to range from turning the front LR speakers to face the prime listening area directly to slightly turning the speakers in toward the prime listening area. What do you use, or is this question too speaker specific?

I'm going to be using a pair of bi-wired KEF Reference 104/2s for the front LR speakers, along with a pair of Velodyne HGS-10 subs crossing over at 50 Hz.

Thanks for the informative responses. I do not yet have the pair of 104/2s (they are being shipped), and have never heard these speakers. I bought the pair based on reviews I've read, and on experience with my four 102/2s and 100C. I really like the sound of my bi-wired 102/2s and 100C, and they blend seamlessly with my Velodyne HGS-10. I realize that the 104/2s do not have the Uni-Q HF driver, whereas the 102/2s do. Even though the pair of 104/2s are said to be late serial number bi-wired units, I doubt they will come with a manual. I plan to add a second HGS-10, and a techie at KEF suggested setting the crossover at 50 Hz -- I use 80 Hz with the 102/2s.
