Only that Nathan feels it sounds better. I have provided a link below to an article in 6Moons that discussed the earlier model Eighth Nerve products, as well as more of Nathan's speaker placement philosophy.
Also, here are a couple of comments from Robert Greene on my speakers:
"Because of their deliberate beaminess, the SP1/2s have to be pointed at the listener if their full potential neutrality is to be appreciated."
So it appears significant toe-in (Or is it toe-out? I get confused as to which is which sometimes) is recommended.
Also, another comment that if you could clarify I would appreciate:
"Incidentally, I should add that the SP1/2s should be placed widely apart, in something along the lines of the theoretical Blumlein position (90 degrees apart, from the listener's viewpoint)."
Lastly, I tried using your formula but not sure I used it correctly. Given the following measurements what would the 72 degree angle equate to in distance between the speaker tweeters?
Distance between tweeters = 84"
Distance from listening position to plane of speakers = 78"
