Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs

I just bought 15 HTFs and will also be making about a dozen of Ozzie's homemade models.  While I will re-fresh myself with SR's placement tips, and I get that I will have to do some experimenting to tailor the HFT effect to MY listening room; are there any "Advanced HFT Placement Tips" some of you would like to share with us?  Something that might be overlooked by many of us?  Or maybe, just a good rule-of-thumb tip for someone just starting to use these?
The tips could be tips for bring out more highs, solidifying the bass response, placement hi vs low, in front of vs behind speakers, on side walls, at reflection points, behind the listener, on the ceiling above the equipment or above the listener, on the equipment.
Any ah-ha that you would like to share?  I would also be very interested in hearing from people using Magnapans.

I have a number of the original resonators from Frank, gold and silver.  
I used to have a very small listening space and the wall was directly behind the listening position.  
It was hard to believe but they really worked, especially behind me to help make the rear wall directly behind me less obtrusive.  
Now that I'm in quite a larger listening space with 15' ceilings and about 28feet of width I have the resonators up but haven't critically placed them or even tried to ascertain their benefits by removing them.  
One did fall the other day and it rang for what seemed like almost 10 seconds, which surprised me a but.
