General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Proper Toe-in Configuration

When setting up my Hales Rev 3, I found toe in had a great deal to do with soundstage. This varied with the sidewall. It was either a wall of LPs and on the other side, a rack of 1200 CDs or blankets covering the aforementioned media racks. And of course the music was something I was familiar with and had a soundstage. Likely jazz or classical, as I find rock seldom has much of a soundstage.
When the side walls are damped with the blankets, very little or no toe-in sounded best. When the racks are not damped, I found a toe-in that has the apex of the speakers about 30cm in front of my sweet seat was best.
I'd guess I was eliminating the first reflection from smearing the soundstage. Right or wrong in this conclusion it stills sounds best to myself, as it should.
