Speaker placement for Definitive Bi-Pole Tower 30s


Hi: just got the DEf-TECH bp 30s for home theater, it is a big room but rectanguar any ideas on what to think about for speaker placement for bi-poles to adjust sweet spot, right now they are next to big screen about 22 inches from back wall and angled in to prime listening area but since they are true bi-poles not sure what is the best. Also: in terms of bi-wiring, it has factory issued jumpers but want to bi-wire folllow english school?
thanks

Those speakers are designed to breath a bit, and so you hear some "back wall reflections" from the back drivers. So don't smuther them.
Balance width with speaker placment for bass response. They need to couple well in the room. You might have to put the bass woofers in your seat and go listen where the speakers should be. Otherwise, try different spots.
As for bi-wire, I'd tinker there last. I'd also cross em over as "small", and run a sub for best HT.
Also, those speakers do best with warmish sounding gear.
You'll have to, in short, tinker with location, and toe-in. There's no other choice.
Good luck
