Satie, How far from the side walls are your mains?
Mark, can you remind me how much toe in you prefer at this location?
One other comment on positioning. I have been able to find only two listening (seating) locations with extremely smooth bass in my current room. One is in exactly the spot predicted by the rule of thirds. With the chair at just under seven foot from the BW, the bass bumps and dips are clearly smoothed out. The other place in my room, is about two and a half feet from the back wall.
I have never noticed any negative impact of having the rear wall, which is totally untreated, this close to my ears. I tried treating once, and did find this had adverse effects.
At the area between 2.5 and 7 feet from BW, I get various dips and some extreme bumps. They are pleasant briefly for rock music, but prove irritating over time.
