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, again with the stupidity. I answered his questions. What's all the rumpus?

Geoff,
Do you have a measured and quoted shear velocity for any and all your Pebbles.? That is after all the basis of their relationship and conversion from compressive waves and also their response to other boundary layers they contact. Tom

Geoff - You did. I checked the link and you provide loads of info. Sorry, I should have checked your site. I’m so used to manufacturers who don’t actually get into the science and just make claims on their sites.

I'm not like all those other guys. 😛

geoffkait, it's interesting that toddverrone has reversed himself and is now satisfied that your link answered his question. Which negates my earlier comments based on what he had to say in his original post. But since you mention "some experimentation is usually necessary to establish ideal locations for Brilliant Pebbles in a given room/system" I note that this also applies to resonators -- as ozzy rightly pointed out in an earlier post.
