I don't fuss about with my system much at all, but speaker positioning is an easy way to change or adjust the way a system sounds, at least for those of us that are careful listeners, and have speakers that can actually be moved. I was speaking with Terry London, who writes for home theater review dot com and he recommended that I try tipping my Lawrence Audio speakers forward; I did so by about 20mm/ 3/4" and it made a very nice difference.
Perhaps the improvement is because my speakers are sort of stuffed in among the other debris in the living room but I think also because my central listening chair is quite low- lower than many typical LR chairs. It may also be a function of the rear-firing ribbon tweeter this speaker has, so the tilt affects that reflected sound as well as the font-facing AMT tweeter.
Once adjusted they just sit there, unmolested by me, and play on.
Interesting comparative note by DimiPap comparing the improvement to the addition of a Naim Hi-Cap.
