I think everyone should try the method of disecting the room into 3rd and 5ths to find the modes. It was in the Sterephile Guide to Home Theater about 2 years ago. I finally got around to trying this last summer and it works amazingly well.
Maybe someone here can link or summarize better than I but basically it puts the speakers and the listeners in the best positions to avoid the rooms interactions. My speakers are actually in the corners of the room, about 6 inches from the backs and sides for my particular room, a placement that just seems wrong. But I can hear things on records that I have never heard before. It really works!
