I have found that the Get Better Sound methodology of Jim Smith is invaluable in speaker positioning. Unlike other methods (like equilateral triangle, Cardas golden ration etc) which prescribe rules, GBS provides a framework. Applying the framework allows one to find the best position for your speakers in your room.
It is a process but the time invested reaps (did for me) rewards that far outstrip other tweaks e.g. cables etc.
I would also recommend using room measurement software like REW to get an objective picture of what is happening in the room. I use XTZ Room Analyser II Pro.
Finally i would only purchase the GBS book - the DVD was disappointing and not useful as a standalone purchase. I can't think of money better spent in the world of audio.
Sorry about the thread hijack
