Some masking tape on the floor helps.
And changing the lyrics to “Toe the line”…. 😎
Speaker Placement and Toe-In
I just spent hours moving my Sopra 2’s with them sitting on the Townshend’s podiums #3. I kept intense measurements. My speakers are 115" from the woofer center to the other speaker woofer. I am sitting at that same distance from the L&R speakers’ middle centerline. They are 37" from the sidewalls to the sidewalls of the speaker.
I used one of those air bladder wedges that are used for lifting car doors and lifted each leg individually of the Townshend podium just enough to slide a furniture mover/disc under each leg.
What I found is that I prefer no Toe-In. That is, I prefer the speakers straight out into the room.
At least at this moment I am content.

@ghdprentice For what it's worth to you, the arrangements of the OP and my own speakers relative to the listening position isn't actually an equilateral triangle. If it were, the measurement from listening position to the perpendicular line between speaker midpoints would be 86.6% of the distance between speaker midpoints. In both of our cases, it was 100%. Fascinatingly coincidental. |
Some very interesting and helpful comments, thank you. I'm still experimenting. I am leaning towards a very slight toe in. The Focal Sopra's are very difficult to measure distances from the walls due to them not having any real straight lines. I think the idea of re-checking again after a few months is a good one. Not that I think the speakers will move (duh) but my preference may change. ozzy |
