Dave,

That's the same setup I have. I've toed in (angled) the mains and left them straight.. and can't tell any difference. The mains are about 6 ft apart and about 9 ft from the listening position.

I finally left them pointing straight ahead and have calibrated with both Avia and VE.

One suggestion... let them break in a while before you pass judgement on the speakers. They take a little while to get the harshness out, imo
