Your mileage will vary depending on the design of the speaker system, but I have found anytime you can use minimal to no toe in, you will be blessed with the most dynamic and natural soundstage IMHO:0)
Speaker placement toe-in and cables
I have spent the last year upgrading all my cables...speaker,IC's,and PC's. My speakers to get the best clarity and focus...started with a toe-in of about 12-15 degrees.
As I changed cables I would adjust the placement....I noticed after everything....and especially upgrading my digital cable from the dac to the transport. My speakers were only about 5 degree of toe-in. Then I moved a new PC from my preamp to the transport....and everything became rock solid....soundstage even more holographic.
The funny thing is that as I upgraded the cables and moved the speakers....I never really thought about it. I was listening last night and said to myself...it sounds incredibly good and the cables must have made a big improvement....look no toe-in anymore...they were straight out.
Just thought I would pass that tidbit of my experience along.
