Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Toe in

It should be easy enough to "suck it and see". Move the speakers with a variety of toe-in angles and distance from back and side walls. If looking for best imaging, probably full toe-in is best, but at the coat of sweet spot size. If mostly listening on your own, high toe-in likely best.

Also consider spikes vs vibration absorbing feet such as IsoAcoustic Gaia. This may depend on your floor material, but spikes are now less popular than in the best. In my case, I get significantly improved bass detail with Gaias - not louder but instruments are more easily identified in the bass range.

A tip if you have difficulty moving your speakers if heavy and on spikes or sticky feet. Place a tea towel or similar under the speakers and they will slide easily over a smooth floor - but use spike protectors of course!
