One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show.

If you have positioned your speakers too near the wall behind them, as many folks seem to do (from the system photos I see) I believe your observations  are probably valid, certainly are to you. However, if you bring your speakers well out into the room I believe your observations would change. My speakers are set up close to the 'Cardas' recommendations.  My imaging is spot on in all dimensions and with 'extreme toe in' superior to firing straight ahead. My speakers are 6' out from the wall behind them which is consistent with the Cardas set up however they are closer to the side wall than recommended. It is this sidewall closeness that causes some deterioration in image specificity that is remedied by the toe in. FWIW, my room, my speakers, my ears.
My room is 13.5x19.5x9. My speakers are 6ft from the wall behind them and 2ft from the side walls. The listening chair is set up at the apex of an equilateral triangle.  

How does one compensate for the seating position being slightly closer to the left speaker from the ideal equilateral triangle. That is an amp without balance controls? I have been trying to figure this one for a few days now.

The reason for my predicament is that I have a small system in my new office with 7 computer monitors. Only 2 of these really effect the sound coming from the speakers. Even those 2 are off to the side. My seating position is sideways closer to the left speaker.

If this is off topic I will create a new thread.

My recommendation is, while you are seated at your preferred spot with music playing, to have someone else position and aim the speakers for you. There is likely a position/aim that will nullify the assymetry and work sonically. Don’t forget to close your eyes from time to time while the respositioning is going on; you want your ears to be the deciding and validating referee.

Newbee,

i have my speakers about three feet from the back wall, but, because I have a large room (25x23) I have plenty of room from the side walls. As you say, the major reason for toeing in is to avoid interaction with the side walls.
