My sofa is against a rear wall and don't have any space behind me for the sound to image or converge behind my head. I tried keeping my RS6 straight and very little toe in, still the sound went and hit the rear wall more, never created a soundstage or image between me and the speakers - this sound i didn't like, but the sound was huge and i was not comfortable. Distance from side walls to speakers are more than 10 feet, and speakers are 10 feet apart.
After much experimenting, moving in and out the speakers all the time, I finally with frustration toed-in my speakers extremely, almost both speakers facing each other, so when i sit in the center, i could well see 90% of the sides of both speakers, i guess it's 90 degrees that Cranky was talking about. The results were stunning, the speakers imaged splendidly, one foot in front of me, and the sound was always in the center between me and the speakers. The vocals were dead center with other instruments always at the background making the listen more pleasure than before. As Cranky said, i have a three-seater sofa in front, so wherever i sit, the sound was always between me and the speakers, i really love this sound.
By doing the above extreme toe-in, i found out that the sound was not at all good once i break from the triangle, say, i move to another room or wander around listnening to music. It's damn good once i step into that zone, interesting.
I would request anyone not satisfied with the SQ of their setup, to experiment extensively, you might find the grail, sort of atleast.
[IMO]
