I have heard, but haven't tried the theory out, that toeing in the speakers so they cross in front of the listening position broadens the soundstage and gives a bigger sweet spot. I expect that if it does this, it does so at the expense of losing some of the advantages you get in imaging with a smaller sweet spot.
Assuming you want to go for the bigger sweet spot, and that's a perfectly reasonable call in my view, then I think you're better off going after that result quite seriously and not being half hearted about it. You may not get the same results you get with a smaller sweet spot but I'd be prepared to bet that care, attention and precision in going after the wider sweet spot will get you better results over that wider area than a more casual approach will, plus better results in the middle of that area for the times when you are listening on your own.
It's fine to decide that you want a different result to someone else, even most someone elses. Once you decide what result you want, however, there's no reason for not putting in a bit of extra time and effort to make sure that the result you get is not only the sort of result you were after but as good as you can get it to be.
