I'd think about trying them on the side walls at the point of first order
reflections. Have your wife or a friend sit in the listening position while
you take a medium sized (not too large to handle) mirror and place it
along the side wall. Starting at a point even with the speaker with the
mirror against it, walk forward along the side wall. At some point your
partner will be able to see the speaker reflected in the mirror. Mark this
spot on the wall. This is the point of first order reflection, and you can
try placing a plant here. Repeat on the other side wall. You can also
tape or pin reflective Mylar on the wall and do the same thing yourself
without help. The plants would need to be at least the height of the
tweeters.
