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.

    Way too many people have amazing speakers yet won’t spend $80 on a measurement mic so they can see what they’re actually getting out of them in their room at the listening position. $80 is on the verge of being free when you consider how expensive this hobby is. Get one and see what responses you get with your speakers in different positions with different toe ins. With some physical placement/toe in adjustments based on what gives the best response and basic EQ adjustments to balance each channel independently from the best physical starting point you can give yourself what sounds like a $$$$ upgrade to your system in less than an hour of playing around
