A little update. The overall outcome of this discussion is that the speakers are toed in ca 40 - 45 degrees (much like the advice from Audiokinesis), with the listening chair closer to the speakers. Sound is a bit more headphone like. Yet the hot treble problem is less prominent (as long as I sit behind the point where the direct treble sound crosses).
So why did I prefer a different setup, for several years? With the speakers less toed in, pointing more towards the wall? Not sure. Some audio friends with good ears preferred this setup. I liked it, myself. I thought, there is something artificial when the treble drivers cross in front of the listener. No longer sure about that.
It may also have to do with changing listening and music tastes. When I got the Audiokinesis Dream Maker speakers, I was very concerned that they should fill my quite large (50m2) living / listening room. Big music (think Dark side of the moon) should sound, yes, convincingly big. Over the years I have relaxed more. If the music is big it should not need a lot of volume to prove it. And even if the radical toe in gives a more headphone and nearfield type of sound, the rest of the room is well served also, with these speakers. I had a big sub. I sold it. I had effect speakers. They went out. The Dream Makers are best on their own. Positioned as adviced by the designer.
