Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs

I just bought 15 HTFs and will also be making about a dozen of Ozzie's homemade models.  While I will re-fresh myself with SR's placement tips, and I get that I will have to do some experimenting to tailor the HFT effect to MY listening room; are there any "Advanced HFT Placement Tips" some of you would like to share with us?  Something that might be overlooked by many of us?  Or maybe, just a good rule-of-thumb tip for someone just starting to use these?
The tips could be tips for bring out more highs, solidifying the bass response, placement hi vs low, in front of vs behind speakers, on side walls, at reflection points, behind the listener, on the ceiling above the equipment or above the listener, on the equipment.
Any ah-ha that you would like to share?  I would also be very interested in hearing from people using Magnapans.

I love pictures. I'll even take a line drawing. No need to color it.

This is what photons look like when they’re at rest.

So now I'm confused. Photons are the carriers of EM waves, so if we're talking about an EM radiation with wavelengths 3 - 25 mm, how are the photons at rest?

geoffkait,

You stated, "Sabai, thanks for the excellent non-answer!" You’re welcome ... to read my answer again. You will see that it addressed the illogic of your statements. When you don’t like what you hear you call it a non-answer and neatly sidestep the content. Very clever.

You stated, "Here’s a little hint, since I’m in a generous mood ... " How about a group hug after you climb down from your pedestal. Lol.

They’re obviously not at rest. But seeing them *at rest* is the only way you can see them, no?

pop quiz: if photons have zero rest mass, Mo, does that mean they have mass when they’re moving? If so, how can they have mass when they’re moving at light speed?
