Vandersteen 2ce Sig II

Miketuason, you must excuse me as I'm listening to Naked by the Talking Heads, so I may go out there...
Toe in is a bitch. I have no idea what your speaks are and how they're placed.
This process is about matching the toe-in of a PAIR of speakers. Requirements: Tape measure. laser pointer/ level. Toe in one speaker (for this, we'll start with the right speaker). Place the laser on the front of the speaker (face), aimed at the other (left) speaker. Measure where the laser lands on the side of the left cab. Move the laser to the front of the other (left) speaker. Match the measurement from before. This won't help you find toe for your listening position, but will match your speaks.
You'll need to play with the toe as to what sounds best for your listening position, but this technique will match your system.
Best of luck Miketuason.

Curtis, I have the Vandersteen 2CE Signature II. My speakers are 6 feet apart, I have the tilt dialed in as per Audioconnections instruction but, the toes is the only thing I have to do. Thanks.

Mike, toe in is really something that's subjective. It depends on how you want the soundstage presented. Obviously, the more toe in you have, the tighter and more narrow the stage. The best way to start is to get the speakers exactly matched as far as distance from your seat and leave them facing straight ahead, no toe in. Then just make little changes in angle, maybe half an inch at a time and really listen for the focus of the stage. Use something where you can hear individual instruments and see how the placement of those seem to change as you change the toe in. It is very important to make sure that your speaks are perfectly matched though. be diligent with your measurements. This can take a while and I've never found a hard and fast way of doing it. It took me two months of mucking around with even a pair of Polk RTi-7s that I had and finally found what I thought worked. It's really just up to how you want it to sound and taking the time to listen to the changes that you're making. Best of luck!

A plumbob,string, and the well written Vandy owners manual is also a good place to start for tiltback.

John I've done the plumbob string per Vandersteen manual but, the laser and bubble level is more accurate.
