Generally speaking, I find it interesting when people say the subwoofer "sounds better" here or there. A properly integrated subwoofer for 2 channel audio is sonically invisible. It should not call attention to itself.
The specific recommendation is in the corner behind one of the main speakers. I suppose if your speakers are out in the room, or part way along the longer wall, then the sub placement may change also.
A lot of REL's market is outside the US, and mostly only us American have these large dedicated media / listening rooms. The III series REL's are very adjustable. You should be able to adjust the sub to the chosen placement in most cases, instead of adjusting the sub by moving the placement.
Many folks have only one place for the sub in a multi-purpose room, or those with WAF placement issues.
