They are 3 feet from back wall and about 1 1/2 feet from side wall. they are 10 feet apart and i am almost 11 feet back.
Any opinions would be appreciated.
JP,
Welcome to the Ascend Acoustic Forum!
Assuming you have the RAAL towers (excellent horizontal dispersion) and your room acoustics have medium reflective qualities (not too dead, not too live), No toe-in could be ideal creating a realistic sound stage width, deep hall\recording depth and believable center stage realism (with good recordings). If the "air" of the recording fills in pleasingly and appears natural, then you are there! If not, a little toe in could create a more live playback experience. A lot of variables such as your musical taste and hearing capabilities, room acoustics (nulls\peaks), equipment integration and overall "live-concert" experiences will tell you when it "Sounds Right"!
