While I actually meant that question for Christian, your answer has piqued my curiosity. I sit back 12 feet from my Alexias but they are only 9 feet apart tweeter to tweeter (%75 of the listening distance). Yours are 91% which much higher. If I recall correctly from Jim Smith's Get Better Sound, the average is usually around 83%. I'm not suggesting anything is wrong, just noting the differences. In any case, I agree that moving the speakers 1/2 inch does make a huge difference - a lot more than any cable change and sometimes a lot more than a component change. I use a laser to adjust toe in as well and you can use a laser for a lot more than that (as I learned from watching Jim Smith who uses multiple).
Steve, how far out are your speakers from the front wall (approx distance from back to wall)? I ask only for my own curiosity as I'm the last person who could suggest something was right or wrong about speaker positioning.
IIRC I am about 44" from the front wall to the inner rear corner of each speaker.
I can assure you my parameters are per Wilson set up specs and my measurements improved with that 1/4" toe out. Wilson formula states distance from side X 1.1-1.3 should equal distance from speaker to ear
BTW, I just remeasured and I am wrong. Distance from tweeter to tweeter is 10 feet (120") and distance from speaker to listening position is 144"
144/120 = 1.2
