Another thing I've tried is extreme toe in angles, in and out.
Also, I've experimented with placing the speakers in the corners and also placing the speakers on the diagonal,in a corner so that the centre of the two speakers is the junction of the two walls.
Which is correct?
They all sound good,but different.
In fact speaker positions can almost fool you into thinking that you're listening to a diffrernt pair of speakers.
In the end, after all the experimentation,the way the system looks plays an important role and can trump the sound improvements(diferences)of radical toe in, etc.
I think most of us settle for how the speakers sound when set up in the more conventional ways which please our eyes.
Which as I've stated ,isn't always the best.
Then we resort to whatever devices we have to tune the speakers to our liking and to make up for whatever deficiencies we may feel they have, or to fill in the gaps that our ears feel we need.
If that's wires, or EQ's or room tuning devices,you have a lot of choices to experiment with.
On second thought, maybe an anechoic room may not be so bad afterall.
