Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.

I’ve been experimenting with toe in and tweeter position (inside v. outside) for my LRS and ProAC Studio 3 speakers. My listening position is about 8.5 feet from the speakers front surface.

In both cases I ended up with tweeters on the inside and zero toe in. I like the more immersive soundstage I get with zero toe in. I sacrifice a little of the lock in for the center image.

Zero toe in also makes my sweet spot for listening a little wider.

Sorry about the incorrect spelling and the missing question mark in the subject. I couldn’t edit the subject.

My room is pretty good size, and I sit quite a ways away, so am not sure a straight on setup would work so well, but ya never know until you try.

The ideal setup is unique to every speaker, room, and system, so what works great for one situation may or may not for another.  Experimentation recommended.

I think that it also depends on how far away the listener is from the speakers.

Aimed at my shoulders to balance center focus and soundstage.

I have Joesph Audio Perspectives and have tried both ways a few times but always end up with no toe in.
