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.

Sabai, are u obsessed with me or what? Please keep the personalities down to a dull roar. You’re the only one here name calling. Oh, one more thing, if you’re going to use my name in your posts would it be too much to ask you to spell it correctly?

Have a nice day,

geoffkait,

No need to be so touchy. Is your forum ID not geoffkait? Did I get the spelling wrong? Oh I see, we are no longer allowed to use our forum ID here anymore ... you have officially declared. Well, in this case, you had better stop calling me Sabai and toddverrone by his ID, etc.

Perhaps you should consider another line of work where your style will not be cramped by inconvenient comments from other forum members. Lol.

Ah, name calling, a subject you seem to know something about ... calling fellow members "knuckleheads, little old ladies, nerds", etc. Have you forgotten which pot is calling the kettle black here? How about another warm group hug ... Lol.

geoffkait,

Maybe will should all be required to mention your company name, as well, when we post here -- as part of The Big Group Hug -- with the ultimate intention of helping needy forum members. Lol.

Ok, so I’m not confused. My understanding of physics isn’t a total wreck. So, jeez, what waves are we dealing with here then? What are they classified as?

"Ok, so I’m not confused. My understanding of physics isn’t a total wreck."

I’ll be the judge of that.

"So, jeez, what waves are we dealing with here then? What are they classified as?"

Apparently they should be classified Top Secret. Lol Well, let’s see, we know they’re not acoustic waves that I’m talking about here because Franck Tchang measured effects up to 3 GHz or whatever on his spectrum analyzer. Obviously acoustic waves are part of what’s going on with the tiny little bowls but that’s not the whole story. That’s why we’ve been discussing this particular thing for what, 3 weeks? Has it been longer? I kind of lost track of time. Lol Actually I already went into detail of the type of waves I’m referring to but I guess I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to get through. Lol They’re not gravity waves because as we’ve seen those wavelengths are super-long. They aren’t waves of joy, judging from Sabai’s reaction. Lol
