Integrating sub with main speakers

I am in the process of experimenting with a Sunfire True Sub Mark II version mated to a pair of Maggie 3.5R's. I am using solid state monoblocks and a tube preamp. I have the maggies running full range with the sub connected via the preamp outs to the sub line in, crossover set to 35 Hz. I currently have the sub in between the speakers. What can anyone offer as far as proper placement and intergration of this sub? Thanks for your help.

I have found it easiest to integrate a sub in the corner. REL subs for example are designed to sound best in the corner. If you listen to classical, start with the right corner, which is where bass strings usually are in a real orchestra.

You could also go with two subs, one for each channel, however one great sub is better than two cheap ones.

REl subs are the easiest to integrate IMHO
