I'm debating whether to toe in my Spendor S6e speakers.What are the advantages and disadvantages with toe in? Note that I'm not super concerned with getting a lot of imaging depth. I like a mellower sound and a wider stage. Do certain speakers mandate a bit of toe in for proper driver integration, resolution, etc.? The speakers are 6.5' (198 cm) apart and I'm back 8' (244 cm) from them.
They're currently firing straight ahead (and all primary and even secondary reflection points are acoustically damped). Dealers and reviews suggest to toe in my Spendor S6e.
BUT, changing speaker position in my room is a major ordeal since I have heavy carpet and underpad and the concrete slab underneath is slightly uneven. Getting them re-leveled is extremely frustrating and I've spent enough time with previous speakers in this room to find the best location already. Thanks.
