Jim Smith's positioning grid - yes!

I've always thought I had my ProAc D15's positioned fairly well in a 45 degree diagonal placement - but I have never been totally happy with my soundstage. I got Jim Smith's Get Better Sound book for Christmas and per his recommendation, I created a centerline and did some precise measuring with a Stanley FatMax laser tool. I was floored at the difference a few inches make - especially toe-in! Best example - I now hear the dog barking in the R Waters Amused to Death CD way far out to the right. Up to now I couldn't figure out what the fuss was about. Highly recommended book and positioning technique!
