Beaming potential?

Given that this speaker's setup strongly recommends (demands?) full toe-in to the listener, this makes me consider how is sounds outside a relatively narrow sweet spot. My (and my family's) listening is very much activity-based; that is, in the adjoining rooms which are open to the great room. I like to have music playing a lot of the time but life is too busy to sit in one spot doing nothing else. Of course I do that also, but hardly exclusively, and my system sounds very good in other rooms as well.

Whether this qualifies me as a 'true' audiophile is a matter of another debate and I don't care what my label is really. But is the CS2 subject to beaming, in that it has the potential of losing a lot of its SQ outside the sweet spot and outside the room? Note I am not saying in another room altogether, but in an adjoining space which is completely open to the space that is the speaker's 'home space'. Of course, more SPL is required and that is no problem. The family, wife included, loves realistic music no matter what is being played or where they are hearing it.

TIA.
