Setup is pretty simple. As recomended by SL place your Orions at least 4' from the wall behind them, 2' to the side wall, and 8' apart measured from the tweeter domes. Sit in an equalateral triangle - 7' from a pair 8' apart. Toe in so they face you or maybe a bit more. Enjoy!They interact noticeably less with the side walls than direct-radiating speakers. They aren't fussy like bipoles (I haven't tried an ESL in my room), perhaps because there is little rearward treble or upper mid-range radiation (past 1440Hz). Most people feel the bass is subjectively tighter/accurate in spite of rooms that are a bit boomy with other speakers.
They still excite some room modes and achieve the best bass response when you move things fore/aft.
