Environment + Some techniques

[stereoman]

Hallo , (maybe a bit controversial post based on my years' experience listening)
according to so many posts here regarding the toeing in, room shapes, axis / off axis listening and hundreds more - guys , please

IT DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL

Please understand that once a good synergy out of the box sound will hit your taste, it will always sound good no matter what. The same goes opposite - A bad sound will never sound good even if you build a round cornerless room...

I can agree to some extent. I've found that a well set up system can still sound good pretty much anywhere in the room, and even from the next room or hall way. In fact, I'd suggest it is a way to verify how well set up it is.

But I do think for certain speakers, getting the toe-in correct really does bring them into focus, just as getting speakers at the right height makes them sound properly balanced. You may have been lucky to choose speakers that are relatively insensitive to such matters, or that work best firing straight ahead.
