I have ordered a pair of M-80's. When received, should they be toed in? The person that I talked to at Axiom stated that Axiom speakers did not need toeing in.
Some say toe in others say not. What is the science of it?
Thank you for the help.

Experiment and *hear* what sounds best for your particular room environment.

Yeah, you're going to have to try it out for yourself. I've got M80s, and I'm still not sure whether to toe them in or not.

Gives you a chance at a turn around test of marital commitment:
You sit in the barkolounger set in the sweet spot ... you'll need a nice glass of beer and suggest gently to your spouse, "honey, can you just aim the one on the left a little toward me? ... a little more ... OK, back a bit ..."
See how it works out and let us know.

That's pretty close to what I did this morning. The wife doesn't mind at all.

Blue, every room is different, you will have to experiment. Try straight on, then try slightly toed in, then try toeing them in so they are aiming about a foot behind your head. Of course, I'm assuming your sitting dead center in the sweet spot. Either way, it will take weeks if not months, and you will change your arangement many times until you find the right placement for your room.

Should we refer him to Mojo's huge toe in, then his backtracking when he didn't have them toed in?
I have my M80's straight out. I am only 7ft awat from them and have great soundstage and imaging.
