What should well placed speakers sound like?

I'm relatively new to a hi-fi system. I'm slowly upgrading, but have recently purchased Meadowlark Kestrel Hot Rods...getting rid of some old JBL speakers (10 years old+).
I'm wondering as I try to place the speakers....what should I be looking for? That the sound comes from the middle of the two speakers (as opposed to the speakers)? Can some of you in-the-know explain the concept of soundstage and speaker placement and what to listen for when placing the speakers.

I have them 7 feet apart (can't really change due to the set-up of my living room) and a somewhat toe-in (which seems to help).

thanks

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I can only position the speakers in so many places. I can't pull them out much from the wall, maybe a few feet, and can barely move them away from a side wall (at least one of the speakers)...again due to the room size. The speakers are pretty small and I have a dog, so I have to position the speakers a bit back, so she can't run them over (big dog).

I have them positioned probably as best I can right now and it sounds great...someday i'll have a dedicated listening room and can do something better...
