Tell me about your sweet spot.

Serious answer here. My Shearwater Hot Rods are toed in _just a little_ . Toe in too much (aimed at the ears when seated at midpoint) and the s.s. is so tiny that you need your head in a vice. With the speaks aimed past the head but not parallel, the s.s. is less pinpoint, the transition from spot-on through off to the side to "Is the other speaker working?" is smoother.

All predictable, you say. Yes, I agree, but what surprised me was the dynamics. A broader sweet spot gives slightly less intimacy but more interesting dynamics. As though a bigger "window on the event" also let more air movement through to the listener. Odd.

Darrylhifi, talk about the straight man in a comedy duo (Jerry Lewis couldn't have dreamed of a better line from Dean Martin!) Since I'm no Jerry Lewis, I'll won't add a punch line to your post! I have actually purchased a cheap laser level (about $20-) that will project a laser dot on the rear wall. This will help to align the toe-in of the speakers pretty accurately! The toe-in is actually dependent on your speaker...ask the manufacturer for recommendations!!! I find that "D" works best in my situation, with the intersection point of the 2 speakers approximately 3-4 feet behind my listening position.

OK, now for my serious answer: My Acoustats, which beam like a flashlight, are pointed at my ears. I, too, use a laser to aim them. The addition of an Argent Room Lens has widened the sweet spot to the entire three cushion coach. (Until I recently changed to an Ekornes listening chair).

Well, lets investigate...it is somewhere south of Head City, and north of Knee Drop..but pretty close to DewDropInn..

Interesting, early responses straight ahead late reponses seem to have some toe in. Elgorado how does Italian sound with a little Vino ? Fattparrot what did you mean by position {no jokes please } D . ? Gracias.
