I was wondering if there were any general guidelines about speaker
placement.  I imagine it varies tremendously depending on speaker,
room, etc.  

My main problem is bass resonance.  I have my speakers about two feet
from the side walls and three feet from the back wall.  They are on
one inch tiptoes.  I would like to reduce the coupling between the
speakers and the floor even more.  What should I do?

I don't have a fancy system.  The speakers are from GNP, a small shop
in Pasadena.  They are about the same price as Vandersteen 2ci's, but
I thought these sounded better.  Again, it's nothing fancy, but I'd
just like to get the most for my money.
