For a long time I had been listening to my SL3s with the M L recommended toe-in so that the flashlight test would center the inner third of the panels.
More recently, I relocated my RPG absorption panels to better line up with the location of the first reflection points and inserted a DSPeaker Anti Mode Dual Core to correct the bass room modes, and during this process I experimented with different toe-in settings. As a result I now find that the best soundstage/imaging/tonal balance is obtained when the SL3s are aimed almost squarely at the listening seat, so that the flashlight beam hits just short of the centerline of the panels, just a bit closer to the inner than to outer side.
I'm not suggesting this will work universally; only that it may pay to experiment with toeing in or out to get the best results.
