Hi,
as a user of SC-III, placement on the long wall is the starting point.
They favour and take advantage of all the width you can spare.
Space behind speaker should be greater from what on the sides and not equal if you want to avoid cancelations.
These are tall speakers and require a tall ceailing also. If cannot take advantage of long wall then your listening distance should be less than their opening. I found the most important are listening distance and spacing apart with toe in.  Otherwise prepare for some room treatment. Nice buy.
Hi,
rooms are different but try a smaller toe in, just to see from your listening position half or so of their side panels.
Try a listening distance which is less than their opening, reduce the distance from the chair to 11-10ft and listen how it goes. If you stay at 12ft listening distance increase slightly their opening.
These speakers have lots of air and sound like no box at all when properly set up.
