debjit_g,
Placement in my living room is dictated by the rooms use. They are where they are, I'm between them. Within the small footprint each speaker is allowed, there is one elusive placement and toe-in where tone, balance, focus and imaging coincide to my taste. I say try every placement and toe-in until you find it to your taste. I'm sure you've found they're very sensitive to set-up to a half inch and less.
FWIW I've been to Mr. Lee's shop and listened to his Crescendo 2 set-up with the speakers well out from the front wall. I was unimpressed, bored actually. Too lean for me.
