Trying to figure out how to answer, but here goes. When we set up new speakers, we try and configure them a certain distance from the walls and what we hear from our listening position. Two different people might set the toe in angle differently, the speaker position, etc., according to what sounds best to that person.
The hallowgraphs may be an extension of that, in that you are trying to improve, soundstaging, details,naturalness, bass reproduction, etc. by aiming these devices in a particular direction.
In my case, I assumed (wrongly) that toeing them out would open up the soundstage, and that toeing them in would give more detail, which in general is true. Over time I found that it depends on the recording, for instance sometimes orchestral music sounds best with them toed in, and ensemble music might sound best with them toed out. I eventually put the Hallographs on lazy susans, so I could pivot them easily and determine what position sounds best, which for most people is a PITA and many times I just leave them where they are.
If you ever put on a recording and you are wanting the soundfield to open up, or you're wanting more richness in the notes, give these a try.
Sorry for the long explanation.
