Speaker Placement and Toe-In

Out of curiosity, I just measured my loudspeaker vs listening position and, coincidentally, found it is exactly the same ratio as the OP. It happens to be precisely 1:1 --> the distance between woofer centers and the distance from the drivers’ centerline to listening position. This ratio wasn’t intentional as I hadn’t measured it in that way recently, I was only using preferred positioning based on listening tests.

My toe-in is also the same: none. Speakers disappear with zero toe-in and imaging is optimal, and as toe-in degree increases, even a little bit, their location is more revealed. Center image with my speakers isn’t terribly disrupted by toe-in, but it does compress and overall breadth shrinks.

I'm using Townshend Seismic Bars, and thankfully their felt bottoms are super easy to slide around on my hardwood floor.

The equilateral triangle is a thing…. True more often then not.
 

The toe-in worth the search. Nothing wrong with being lazy for six months… then changing it a bit. Wait a while… then try something else. I am lazy… but over time, your system will sound amazingly better… the cost is really low.

Well, this should be interesting.  I have Daedalus Audio speakers on the way, should arrive on Friday (model Apollo 11, newest version, V-3).  Just sold my Dynaudio Contour 60i speakers.  The Daedalus speakers have the front baffle slightly canted (toed) and keeping the back of the speaker square with the front wall is recommended.  I will begin with that and over time make a few adjustments.  As ghdprentice stated, "the toe-in is worth the search, changing it a bit, wait a while, then try something else".  I'm looking forward to the process.  This is a fun hobby and passion.

Congrats Joel! Glad to hear they are finally on their way 👍🏼

Some masking tape on the floor helps.
And changing the lyrics to “Toe the line”…. 😎
