Tannoy Canterbury GR Placement in a 23' x 34' room with 12.5' ceiling

Just ordered a pair of Canterbury GRs for a dedicated listening room.  Any recommendations on whether I should start off with them on the long wall or the short wall? I have read that they like to be FAR from the side walls.  I'll be driving them with a pair of Pass Labs XA 60.5 monoblocks.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Keith

Congratulations on your purchase, no doubt you will love them. 

My room measure, 15’D x 30’W x 8’H. I have my Canterbury’s placed on the long wall, 3.5’F away from back wall and 7’F from side walls. 

I get pin point imaging and vocals are dead center. They are currently powered by Pure Class A 30W SET amps. I am working on custom made 300B mono’s (8W) per ch and they should be here in couple of months. 

I’ve recently auditioned a 300B stereo amp from Aric’s audio and it was the most musical and emotionally engaging sound I ever experienced from my Canterbury GR’s.
