Speaker placement formula


I tried looking in the old threads and I didn't find what I am looking for. Hopefully this isn't a subject that has been asked about too much.

I am looking for a formula (I'm almost positive Martin Logan prints one in their manual) that calculates speaker placement in the room. It takes into account ceiling height also. I know about the whole equilateral triangle, but I think Martin Logan's is different. And if I'm not mistaking, ML's is a pretty common formula? I could be wrong. If anyone could help, that would be great. Thanks.

Funny you should post this...I just went to Brystons website to get a formula for that today...I think it is supposed to be sort of a generic formula...it is as follows

(room height in ")x(.618)= distance from rear wall*
(room width in " / 18)x(5)= distance of tweeters from side walls

*the diagram showed the distance from the rear wall to be to the back of the speaker.

hope this helps,
