"Geez, I almost forgot the most important thing. The trick with these resonators is finding places in the room where they do good, not do bad. If you have a SPL meter handy you can map out all the pressure peaks in the room and attack the highest dB peaks first. If you don't have a SPL meter handy it's a little trial and error but the best places to start are proximity to room corners, especially upper room corners. Other places to start are 1st reflection points, the wall behind the listener and between the speakers on the front wall. Height is an issue with around 5 feet being a good starting point."
Rather than using a SPL meter or the "blind mice" approach suggested by geoffkait, I have achieved better results in placing my resonators by hiring a dowser specializing in audio resonances. For you DIYers, he mentioned that he built his divining rod using instructions found on you tube.
