Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.


I’ve been experimenting with toe in and tweeter position (inside v. outside) for my LRS and ProAC Studio 3 speakers. My listening position is about 8.5 feet from the speakers front surface.

In both cases I ended up with tweeters on the inside and zero toe in. I like the more immersive soundstage I get with zero toe in. I sacrifice a little of the lock in for the center image.

Zero toe in also makes my sweet spot for listening a little wider.

Sorry about the incorrect spelling and the missing question mark in the subject. I couldn’t edit the subject.

How about focal Sopra 3's , any opinions from those who have owned or currently own ?

@lingraves just a little toe.  Youll hear 3 locations at first.  Left, center, right, until you get it right, then it will all come together as a continuous image

I have Apogee Duetta Sigs...they are set straight forward as Apogee suggested. I've tried some toe in, but it didn't produce better sound quality.

My Yamaha NS-5000's fire straight ahead 0 degrees toe. Tweeters/midranges are inboard. My listening distance is 13 feet with the speakers 8 feet apart 2 feet from the rear wall.

Same with my Tekton OB Sigmas in the bedroom but for a slightly smaller triangle with them 3 feet off the back wall for the open baffle effect.
