I'm just wondering how other Omega owners here have their speakers set up in terms of distance apart, toe in, distance from front and side walls, etc to get the very best sound. I'm sure placement preferences will vary due to listening room differences as well as different models (monitors vs. the XRS).
I recently moved into a new place in NYC where the living/listening room has far from ideal acoustics (read TERRIBLE). The room is nearly square 15.5Wx16.5Lx10H with a front wall only 12ft wide ending in an open 3.5W hallway opening on the right side. To make matters worse, the right sidewall is a sunken in designer kitchen, so zero way to treat that wall acoustically. After many hours of moving and listening I ended up with the best sound by having my Super 8 XRS 7.5ft apart center to center, 3" of toe in (15"/12" from front wall measured from the back corners of the speaker). Sidewall clearance is rather tight still unfortunately - only 24" on the left speaker and much more on the right speaker - 4ft. So a big compromise to get decent sound in my living room due to the lopsided nature of the kitchen/hallway on the right side of the room. I found that having my XRS toed in a bit more than in my old apartment helped the sound significantly overall (Im guessing less sidewall interplay) at the expense of only a slight reduction in soundstage. Pulling the speakers 3" further out than I had run them previously also helped, with no real loss in bass impact. Anyway, I was very surprised to hear how relatively minor changes in speaker position made a DRAMATIC difference in how they sound.
