Infinity RS 2.5 speaker placement

Hello all,

I've been trying to find the perfect spot for these old behemoths. I have tried the Cardas website, but the formula doesn't seem to work perfectly for these, maybe because they are a mix of cone woofers and the mylar? mids and tweets. He suggest toe in for all speakers while the infinity set up manual says to keep them parallel. Room is approximately 11'x20'x8' rectangle. Big window in front that has been covered and also some crochet blankets on the walls to try and soften things up a bit. I'm looking for the best imaging and soundstage I can get out of these. Any help is greatly appreciated. Btw, it's not bad by any means, just trying to find the best way to set up these speakers.

I had a pair of 2.5's for quite a few years. I replaced their vintge tweeter & midrange capacitors with modern polypropleans.
They image better when not too far from rear wall due to rear tweeter; I had mine 41" (wall to front).
Lower bass was great, but upper bass was weak due to crossover design (an equalizer would benifit here).

Don't set them too far apart either.
