This is a perfect example of what appears to be what I see as a total lack of interest in the proper setup of speaker/room optimization. Speakers firing directly into a couple of couches, slammed up against the front wall, what looks like a twin bed planted in the middle of the room, rattling shelves and lampshades, something that looks like an episode of tv's Hoarders rather than a listening room. Is it possible that this can sound at all good? Meme friendly, sure. Wife friendly, sure. Serious listening friendly, surely not? Who knows, I certainly don't.
Was this necessary? Why do you seem so angry about my setup? Could it be that I JUST took delivery as the post said and haven't had a chance to see what is going to work best?
If the speakers NEED to be toed in, that will show me when I do measurements. Until then, they will point straight out. Not every single speaker works best toed in, some toe out, some firing straight.
Overall, everyone has room designs they have to work around when
As far as speakers firing into couches, only the bass drivers are firing "into" the couches and that doesn't matter, they act like a REALLY good bass trap by being positioned there.
The Ottoman is big, but my dog likes it so who cares?
Lets see pictures of your listening room so I can tear it apart with science, unlike you used in mine.
