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.

So.. crystals. Does the atomic crystalline structure matter? What about the actual shape of the crystal? Yours are pebbles, so I'm assuming you've found they don't need to be shaped like crystals.. but we all know what happens when you assume. Ha!

What about size? And what is the mechanism they work through? 

I have a feeling I'm not getting straight answers to any of these questions. :-P

Todd, you sure make a lot of assumptions. What's up with the attitude?  Instead of my having to answer your rather snarky questions why don’t you do this - take a deep breath then go read up on crystals on my web site.

geoffkait,

Were you addressing me this time? Lol. I must be very confused -- if you say so. There you go gain trying to save face. You already put your foot in your mouth so no need to put words in your mouth. Lol. Same old geoffkait trying to beat the forum bush to make a living -- whatever it takes. Speaking of which, how are your tiny little $100 knock-off resonator bowls doing these days? Must be stiff competition from all those $1 knock-offs. Lol.

As for accusing toddverrone of being snarky ... there's the pot calling the kettle black once again. We've seen this a few times from you on the forum. Looks like your cows are coming home to roost once again. Lol.

Have a nice day. Lol.

Hey Todd,
Were you able to use the link I provided to get to the Valley Hydraulic page to order the big 1/4" caps.  I tried yesterday and it didn't seem to work.  I'm wondering if it's just my iPad or if the link I copied just doesn't work for anybody.  If you can't use it, let me know & I'll post some detailed directions.  The Valley site isn't very intuitive. 

Thanks,
Toolbox

Sabai, Whoa! Dude! The doctor is in. Go ahead, let it all out. Remember to look within. And maybe look in a book while you’re at it. Wouldn’t kill you.
