Interesting. I can understand that with the overall size of the Genesis line. I am first experimenting with "toe-in or no toe-in" Currently they are straight back and have a very nice soundstage but looking for the best. Trying different tracks right now that give me the best with the current set-up and once chosen, will continue. Have had dealings with Gary and I am cautious of him...………..

Thanks. since I have an initial point of reference now with them straight-away with a nice soundstage, every other option is open for experiment. Would seem to me that having them 9' apart listening about 9' away, extreme toe-in as suggested would create more "bounce" off the back wall?
Brap:
They are about 40" from the back wall now.

Well this was more about speaker symmetry, the floor wasn't perfectly level so one speaker was leaning back slightly (1/16") more than the other. Once this was corrected for the change was pretty dramatic. However, some designs may be more susceptible to this than others, so YMMV ;)

One speaker was angled back 1/16" more than the other, and the image was not as detailed as when it was brought into sync with it's partner. Immediately, height information, that was missing prior, was added to the sound-stage.

Hi Barry,
Absolutely agree. I move my speakers the width, or less, of a 0,5mm pen mark I make. It is good to see others who agree with such measurements.
Cheers
