Anyone try Audio Physic's LS placement philosophy?


Recently I was reading Stereophile's older review of the Audio Physic Virgo loudspeaker on their archives. The reviewer (I think M. Fremer) went into some detail of the manufacturer's "grid" system of mapping out a room for purpose of placing speakers. I found the explanation in the review a bit confusing however. Has anyone tried this with good results? Where can you find the philosophy on the net with better detail?
Thanks!

I have Audio Physic Virgo IIs. I use their placement philosophy, but instead of having them in the center of the room, I have them one quadrant back (as per Audio Physic's other, more practical recommended placement option). I find it works very well - imaging and bass response is beautiful. I tried placing them in the center of my room, but it just looked a bit rediculous and my bed was almost in the way. It may work well in a dedicated listening environment but not in a bedroom or living room scenario - just not practical.
