How much are your speakers toed in?

So they cross slightly in front of my listening position.

With my Spendor sp 1/2e's, I had them toed in directly at me, so I could just see the inside edge of the speaker and the cross section was just behind my head. I had them as far apart as I could at about 8-9 feet, I was 9 ft back. My new Vandersteen 3a's are, according the set up manual, not supposed to be toed in at all. I found this to give a very unnatural soundstage, and the detail suffered. I toe them in directly, just like the spendors. I had read that a direct toe-in involves the room less. But I still play with them from time to time.

Have Loved the sound from my speakers (Revel Ultima Saloons) toed in just a wee bit... approx 15 degrees. Loved the deep soundstage, relaxed yet detailed presentation.

Have recently been experimenting with a sharp toe-in pointing to my ears at the listening position, in an attempt to get a more forward and 'hotter' presentation.

The increased toe in does make the sound more forward, but I think I will go back to the original ( 15 deg ) toe in.

Timrhu,

If my calculations are correct, your speakers are toed in 4.47 degrees. :)

My Usher X718 have moderate toe-in-about 15 degrees. It provides a stable center and wide soundstage
