Need some suggestions on Toe-in for my Ascendants. My speakers are 7.5' apart, 4.8' from back wall, 3.8' from side wall with a listening position of 7.5'. They are currently toed in 3/16", not sure what that is in degrees but how much more toe-in would you recommend?
Did you ever settle on the toe in? My set up is similar to yours and my Avalons are toed in such that the tweater center passes about a foot outside my ears and would converge behind me.
I did try multiple experiments with toe-in and after several weeks, I found that minimal toe-in (1/8") provided the best ambiance, soundstage and coherence. You guys have been a big help and I just put my spike back on last night, finalizing their current position. Just can't wait for my Berkeley Alpha dac to arrive.
Try getting a pinpoint laser pointer hold it on the flat outside of the speaker and aim at the opposite wall to get an exact point of reference. slowly move them in or out till the center image comes into focus. I use one thats flat not round and hold it on the side of the speaker. I have the B&W802 matrix, so only the mid-treble head swivels , so its very easy. I keep the bass drivers straight ahead.
