geoff. Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 The farther your speakers come out from the back wall and past any other items beside them the further back your imaging will go. It is quite something the first time that hits you! I found out by fluke one day after I had pulled my speakers out to vacuum behind them. Sat down for a quick music break and THEN I remembered other forum members telling me that in other posts, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomy2 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I've done this extreme toe in with my 396's to great effect. Added some diffusion panel at first reflection points and I'm getting great depth and imaging for my room. A friend shared this with me a while back and explains the benefits of the toe in. http://libinst.com/PublicArticles/Setup of WG Speakers.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I have a pair of LaScalas in a room 12 X 25ft. They are 12 ft apart, centered on the long wall. I have them toed way in. Prolly 60` Placement possibilities are rather restricted. This seems to work well. Pretty much pointed at the main listening position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechEngVic Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'm at 45 degrees toed in. Then I just halve the distance between them for the sweet spot. But really, anywhere in front of them and close up gives you good imaging. Sometimes I'll sit closer to one speaker and face the other speaker for an interesting effect while still getting good stereo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 This room is set up that way. The tv is in between the speakers and the are big chairs opposite each speaker. Chairs are facing the tv. Opens the room ... if you were sitting straight across from one of these LS, flat to the wall, it was right in your face. one thing??? how does toe in play with the rear passives? Not something I have to deal with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
