I’ve had my ESS AMT6 professionals for 2.5 years now, they’re the size of small refrigerators so I mistakenly believed that toeing them in towards my listening position wouldn’t do much due to the size of my living room and shape of my house. They truly fill my house with beautiful music from anywhere I am (depending how loud I turn them up) Anyways about a week ago I toed them in to my main listening position and lo and behold the right channel opened right up and the soundstage is much more balanced, with depth and just a huge improvement overall. I’m simultaneously delighted and annoyed I didn’t do this years ago! So please, do yourself a favor if you have gigantic speakers and haven’t done so yet, toe them in and reap the rewards.
I gave up telling r/battlestations that their budget JBL 305s shouldn’t be placed on their sides, 12 feet apart, facing straight out.
Posting the ‘listening triangle’ has straight up pissed people off.
I’ve never in my life found a speaker that didn’t have a much better phantom center channel, better treble peaks, and clearer imaging and separation, after toeing in the speakers using equilateral distances between the speakers and the listening position.
Dude for real! I’d even go as far as to say that slightly angling them up makes the sound so much better too.
