Where is the Best Placement for Forte'

I need some advice about how the Klipsch Fortes (the original not the II series) were designed by the engineers to be placed in a room. Basically, were they intended to sound best when place in the corners of a room or moved away from the corners and into the room several feet?

Im trying to tune my room some and wanted to start first with the optimal location for the speakers based on the design intentions. In case you have additional thoughts on the location, what I am working with is my living room which is a 14 x 30 room with 9 ceilings. I am planning on putting the speakers on the 14 wall where I have a couple large 5 x 3 windows arranged roughly as: left corner to 1st window 3ft, a 3ft window, a 4ft center wall space, a 3ft window, followed by a 2ft wall space which ends in the corner with a 4inch piece of molding which is the start of a 4ft entrance into the foyer along the 30 wall.

After placing the speakers in to optimal location based on your design specs, I plan on moving them around some based on getting the flattest frequency responses using ETF or other acoustic frequency generation/sampling software.

Thank you so much for your assistance. I still consider these Klipsch some of the best speakers in the world. I love my Klipsch!
