How do I "compromise" speaker placement

When a flat response is not possible, how does one place speakers?
I would imagine that every time a freq gets flattened another peak/dip gets introduced in another freq?
So how does one "compromise" with the placements?
Do I simply use the flattest response?
Or perhaps, certain frequencies are more significant than others? Meaning, even if one placement introduces less dips (or peaks) across all frequencies, there might be more dips introduced in the bass area. Or the human voice range?

I have a very small room: 18' x 11'2" x 8'. I am having a professional take readings at 8 possible placements. I'm not sure what to do once I get the response graphs.

I own (and like) Cremonas, but you might want to think about speakers with a more limited dispersion pattern. If you're willing to move the speakers out into the room when listening (and back when you're done) a narrow planar (Final, Martin-Logan, etc) might do the trick. If you're unwilling to schlep, you might consider a horn or horn/subwoofer set-up. Either way, you'll be pouring less off axis energy into the side walls.

Good luck.
