Once I read that a good way to find a place to put your speakers is to put one of the speakers in the chair where you sit (if they are small enough) and to move around the room with music going in the chair and find a spot where the music sounds balanced. Put one of the speakers in that spot. Repeat the process for the other speaker and put the other speaker in that second spot. This procedure also works with small sub-woofers to give balanced bass. Alternatively some people like to put sub-woofers in the corner. That often gives more output, but there is also a level control on powered sub-woofers.
Other recommendations are given by the manufacturers. You could try that, too. They often suggest things like a triangle shape, and various amounts of toe-in and distances, such as the rule of thirds.
I have recently experimented with four Magnepan 1.7 speakers by putting two on one end of the room and the other two facing in the same direction about halfway along the room near the walls. It really gives a big image. The key is experimentation.
