Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs

I just bought 15 HTFs and will also be making about a dozen of Ozzie's homemade models.  While I will re-fresh myself with SR's placement tips, and I get that I will have to do some experimenting to tailor the HFT effect to MY listening room; are there any "Advanced HFT Placement Tips" some of you would like to share with us?  Something that might be overlooked by many of us?  Or maybe, just a good rule-of-thumb tip for someone just starting to use these?
The tips could be tips for bring out more highs, solidifying the bass response, placement hi vs low, in front of vs behind speakers, on side walls, at reflection points, behind the listener, on the ceiling above the equipment or above the listener, on the equipment.
Any ah-ha that you would like to share?  I would also be very interested in hearing from people using Magnapans.

Sabai, when’s the last time you had a date? I'm guessing 2007.

geoffkait,

Typical of you here -- getting snidely personal when you don’t get your way -- in a hopeless attempt to save a bit of face.

Anyway, I am very careful when I use the words "just in". You should be more careful next time. Oh, by the way, my wife won't let me date anymore. Lol.

geoffkait,

I know you are only here for intellectual reasons and that commercial interests have never crossed your mind. But you are attracting a lot of interest here and I am sure there are many people who are impressed with your expertise. I have an idea. Why don't you post a hyperlink direct to your order page so we can order some of your pebbles and your tiny $100 resonator cups. Lol.

Checked the price on the HFTs from SR - $300 to $500 for a set of five.
Wow!
Would buy a new LG washing machine. Guaranteed to make your everyday life better.

" I wonder ... can you patent pebbles? Ted doesn't do pebbles, not yet anyway. " I doubt that. If pebbles (or the resonator cups) were part of some system (like speakers), then he could possibly get the system patented.
