Speaker Placement CD

Hey A-goN'rs,

I recall posts regarding at least one or more different speaker placement CD's that audibly assist with locating the optimal speaker position in the room. Anyone have the name(s) of these products? What was your experience? Were you able to find an optimal position for your speakers using the guided assistance? Did your system sound better after finding the optimal position? 

Lastly, what happens if you are unable to place you speakers in the optimal position due to extenuating circumstances such as WAF (not an issue for me in my man-cave) or finding that the optimal position is right in the middle of your foot traffic pattern? Does the guided app help you find the best compromise position too, in the event you cannot use the exact optimal positioning?

I'm just curious because my room and speaker placement is not typical. I can't easily change the basic location of my speakers. I just want to optimize them as best possible. I really like the basic sound of my setup and there are no major deficiencies I'm trying to resolve. Just curious if a guided speaker placement CD would be of any benefit to me.

Oh, speakers are large bookshelf type, on stands - vintage Infinity RS1.5. And they rock!

As I believe the loudspeaker-room interface represents the most important link in the audio chain, not siting the loudspeakers optimally negates so much of the money / components folks spend on their system. It’s much like focusing a lens. A less good lens focused properly presents a much better view than a much better lens out of focus
