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

Try the speakers in many locations. Long wall and short wall -- see what sounds best to you. Depends on the dimensions, but I generally prefer the
long wall -- give you more room for your sound stage -- I like to have my speakers far away from side walls. But, every room is different.
