Speakers along short or long wall


What scientific test/ test tone/ track can help to determine whether I should have the speakers along the short or long wall in my living room.
Does the Stereophile 2, 3, or the Rives CD have any track to be used. I do have the Radio Shack Sound level meter.
Thanks

Thanks for the input. You are confirming my thinking. I used to have them at the end of the room 6 feet from the wall with windows. 8 feet apart, but the listening position was about 15 feet away. Everyone told me put the speakers along the short wall.
I moved back today. 8 feet between speakers. 10 feet to listing position. Improvement.
Like the equilateral triangle approach.
Thanks.

Now I am ready to tweak with the Radio Shack meter.
