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,

Bingo ... the fish took the bait ... and is once again eager to bestow a gift upon the forum that even Einstein could not conceive (unless he can document where Einstein made this declaration) -- The Law of the Transmutational Nature Photons -- brought to us by the world’s most renowned expert on this unfathomable subject -- right here on the forum -- after a big forum group hug. Lol.

geoffkait,

A trick question (I admit) -- how come you’re so smart and everyone else is so stupid? You don't have to provide an answer. We already know. Lol. I understand why you hang around here all the time strutting your stuff. And photons have nothing to do with it. Don't worry. I won't tell a soul. The forum is the best free marketing tool a pebble salesman could ever wish for. Your tiny colored pebbles must be selling like hot cakes. Lol.

Sabai, are u obsessed with me or what? Please keep the personalities down to a dull roar. You’re the only one here name calling. Oh, one more thing, if you’re going to use my name in your posts would it be too much to ask you to spell it correctly?

Have a nice day,

geoffkait,

No need to be so touchy. Is your forum ID not geoffkait? Did I get the spelling wrong? Oh I see, we are no longer allowed to use our forum ID here anymore ... you have officially declared. Well, in this case, you had better stop calling me Sabai and toddverrone by his ID, etc.

Perhaps you should consider another line of work where your style will not be cramped by inconvenient comments from other forum members. Lol.

Ah, name calling, a subject you seem to know something about ... calling fellow members "knuckleheads, little old ladies, nerds", etc. Have you forgotten which pot is calling the kettle black here? How about another warm group hug ... Lol.

geoffkait,

Maybe will should all be required to mention your company name, as well, when we post here -- as part of The Big Group Hug -- with the ultimate intention of helping needy forum members. Lol.
