Check this review out for some placement ideas, even though it is a Utopia Diablo. (Page 2)

They are much closer together that I would think would be good.

Also, Toe-in is a major factor.
The manual for my speakers more or less suggest pointing the speakers at me, but with a wider toe-in I get the widest soundstage.

I found in general that moving my speakers a inch or two can change the imaging & soundstage by a huge amount.
+1. Good info.
Very pleased with the 1008BeIIs. My final decision was between the 805Ds and 1008BeIIs and am happy with my choice.
