All things being equal symmetry has little to do with the final outcome. That's because all types speakers have different radiation patterns, thus reflection points and room echo and standing waves in a given room will be different for every speaker. Not to mention different rooms have different responses to radiation patterns.Besides, once you get into room treatments everything changes again. You can't rely on your "feelings" as to where the best locations are, your chances of stumbling onto the absolute best ones are like finding a needle in a haystack. There is only one set of best locations. Within about an inch or so.
Toe in - You should find the sound to be best, more focused with bigger soundstage be best when there isn't any toe in, the reason a lot of people like toe in is because they have not optimized speaker location and/or their speakers are too far apart. But there is no hard fast rule because of all the variables.
And panels are a different story altogether.
The only sure fire way to know what's going on is to use the speaker setup track. You can't go by feeling. And every time you make a change to the room, guess what? You have to go through the speaker setup again.
