Speaker placement

I had the same question about room placement, and did two separate methods: the Sumiko method and Cardas method.  Wouldn't ya know it, both of them had the exact same result!  I now enjoy my Klipsch Belles out in the room (out of the corners- blasphemy!) without worrying about it.

Is your room similar to mine? 

Go to the cardas site they have a room formula there all you have to do is plug in the width of the room and it will give you the exact spot from the back wall and the sidewall to put the speaker I tried it and it works beautifully.

Thanks for the help everyone. It’s greatly appreciated ! 

In an Audiogon discussion I came across the  “Allison Rule” of speaker placement.  The poster described it as follows:
The Allison rule basically states that the distances from the woofer to the floor, woofer to the side wall, and woofer to the back wall should be as different as possible. To accomplish this, one would apply the following equation:
Middle distance squared = shortest distance multiplied by longest distance.

Example:
22" (floor to midpoint between woofers, a fixed distance)
57" to side walls (about as far as I could get without bumping furniture)
36" to front walls (the "middle distance")

Compared to Cardas and a couple other formulas, this one seemed to offer a better compromise with practical furniture placement needs (in a space that is not a dedicated listening room).
