Bob.......I just had a moment of mental drifting. No photos to follow. I understand we have memebrs of both genders, and do not wish to be offensive. It popped into my mind when I read David's comment, "My speakers have lots of toe". I couldn't help myself.

Wow lots of great inputs here, even cameltoes,,, who could figure? I am experimenting alot with this and one thing is for sure, even as little as one degree angle can make huge difference in depth and width of the soundimage...

This depends a lot on your room, and while I have mine aimed at my listening area, the more important part of the puzzle is getting them off the back and side walls...that will help significantly!

Cheers!
