Genesis 1.1, Infinity IRS V, 4 chasiss speakers

All 4 chassis monstrosities....seven and a half foot tall behemoths. Assuming the room is big enough for these speakers, what would be the optimum distance from speaker to listener seating?

How far apart should the two ribbon/tweeter towers be apart?
How far out should the bass towers be from the ribbon towers? How far out from the rear wall should they be?

I have a very large room and I would like an idea on what the configuration would be for optimum listening. I plan to make a complete makeover of my system in 18 months and I'd like to know how much room they would take up for optimum performance. Most of the photos of these speakers that I've seen seem to be in cramped rooms.

thanks,

Array drivers need to be listened at a distance at least 2x the
height of the array. The mid/tweeter panels should be placed at least 3.5' away from side or rear walls, 12 to 15' apart, and 20' away from the listener. The woofer columns need a celiing a minimum of 12' in height. The mid/tweeters should have a 5 to 10 degreee toe-in.
