Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used?


Thought a thread like this might be interesting. What have you found to be the best rules for speaker placement? Either in your own system and room or one that has worked for you in many.

Good question.
I started out with the Cardas room placement model, but in order to be at least 9 feet away from my speakers (according to the manufacturer), I had to move them back a bit.
Make sure that the distance (center of woofer) is different (by ~1/3) from the front wall to the side wall.
Do not place them that close to the side walls in order to mitigate first reflections.
Another "rule" that I read somewhere is that the best place for the speakers to be invariably has the worst WAF.
