In my acoustically treated room my B&W 803 D3 sound best to me with no toe-in. The front of the speakers are 3' in front of the front wall, they are 8' apart, and the listening seat is 8' from the speakers. Soundstage width and depth increased, and the tonal balance top to bottom improved, after changing from 30* toe-in to 0* toe-in.
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.

@lingraves just a little toe. Youll hear 3 locations at first. Left, center, right, until you get it right, then it will all come together as a continuous image |
