I have tried it both ways and actually prefer it above angled down. If you think about it, peoples heads are closer to the top of the screen than the bottom so this just seems more natural to me.
When I discovered Klipsch I found myself listening to stuff I would have never considered before and I have to credit my wife for a lot of that also. Used to be pretty much a 80s 90s hairband listener exclusively. But acoustic guitar sounds so good on lascalas! Now I have a very wide range of music in my library from frank Sinatra to avenged sevenfold and everything in between
Lascalas, rc7,2 sub12s, rw12d, cf1s, had sf1s, and at work I listen to a pair of the satellites from an older iPod dock. They sound amazing for a small speaker
I want to hear direct, not reflected sound. Toeing them out guarantees you are hearing a lot of reflected sound. Might as well get some 901s if that's what you want
I disagree with the myth that a smaller speaker is "quicker" a larger speaker doesn't have to move as much as a smaller one. There is no such thing as fast or slow bass. Only accurate or inaccurate.
I've been saying this same thing for years but always get told "oh you're wrong you don't know what you're talking about" audyssey sucks all the dynamics out of your speakers. It does guarantee mediocre to poor sound at every seat though lol
