Note that the front-wall pair of Apertures replaced three 2'x4' GIK panels--one at wall center and one behind each speaker, with noticeably improved results.

If you're restricted to starting with two Apertures, you might want to experiment by starting with one each at the reflection points and after listening to that configuration, move one each to the wall behind each speaker and see/hear which placement works better in your listening room..
Thanks for the suggestions Jim. Lucky they are small and light enough that I can play around with placement.
