Yes, the designer's "design axis" can be at any angle from 0 degrees toe in to 45*. Waveguide speakers should be designed for toe in, but anything else could be designed any way. The only problem with designing for 0 toe, is that unless you use a very narrow ribbon or tiny dome up top, you will lose some top end. Which depending on the speaker's voicing and the room, may or may not be a bad thing.
 
Ok GaryProtein, XVR1 2 way doesn't work thanks for warning, 3 way or nothing. With a tri-amped config you plug in cables from mid amp an high amps to
the driver input connections (Red midrange, blue tweeters, black common) this way you bypass the passive crossover under the base i think there is nothing more to do?
 
Yes, with the tri-amped configuration you connect the amps to the drivers directly. Red-mids, blue-tweets, black common. Make sure you separate out the correct commons for the mids and tweets respectively.

Enjoy your system!

Interesting. The room plays such a big role too.

My room is small which is a bummer only 10.5' x 9.5' with 8' ceiling the one thing I learned is I was I had the speakers to from the side wall. I was going by some things read about speaker placement in small rooms I noticed last week when I move them closer to the side wall and a little bit closer to the back wall as my friend suggested the image became more focused by doing that. I consulted with one of the guy's at GIK about the room I and set it up according to his recommendation but I really thing the room sounds better the way I had it before as soon as I get some free time I am going to put it back and see what happen I really want to nail down the setup of the room here soon seeing my analog rig will be online here in the next week or so.
 
To GaryProtein : now i have the XVR1 3 ways to tri amp the system. first XVR1 for Low and High: 106hz pole 1 and 2. 3 and 4 OUT. Q : M jumper X1 106db
High : pole 1 and 2 . 3 and 4 out; Q : M jumper X100 53Hz.

second XVR1 : Jumper 2/B set on B -Low OUT, high used for MID pole 1 and 2 . 3 and 4 OUT. Q : M. jumper X1 133hz but this way all frequencies from 133 hz go to mid and i want frequecies from 133 to 4800hz only!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the 2 XVR1 In come from pre amp. Thanks
 
I think 99% of the time it's toe in. Then you also have to factor in the room and speaker type. For instance, electrostats don't worry about toe in or out normally. Also I have found that the flat panel speakers I have are best without toe in or out. All in all though I'm a toe in guy.
