Sean,
Well said. I apologize for not reading your post before I posted mine. Actually, I had written that post at work during the day and by the time I had time to finish and post it, yours had beaten me to it.
That having been said, I also do not like too much toe in. I have tried to not only not have much toe in but as well like to have them spread apart as much as the speaker and room characteristics allow without losing too much focus.
Please let me understand something though. I agree that with appropriate placement you can get a nice wide soundstage and good tonal balance, but do you think that translates into a wide sweet spot? I have not been successful at that.
My system is comprised of:
Theta transport, theta gen 5a DAC, Spectral DMC 30 and DMA 360 and eidolons. This is the new system that I have just upgraded after moving to a new house. I used to have spectral stuff and ascent Mk II's. With that gear although I am sure there were significant improvements that coudl have been made by one with more experience, it was still pretty good and I remember the distinct feeling of missing out somewaht on the sound if I was not dead center in the listening position.
thanks once again for your post. The dialing in and tinkering is alot of the fun
