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.

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.

sabai,

It is fun to watch someone like you put geoffkait in his place.  Truth be told, he likes to be dominated by an alpha male like you.

I told a story once that you might like.  Many years ago, when I was a wee lad, my family had a dog that would just not stop barking.  When I asked my dad why that might be, he said that the dog barked "because he likes to hear his head roar".  geoffkait is your dog.  I think he has gone running back to his den, but watch out, he may jump out and bite you in the ankles at any time.
