Allison Six/CD-6 placement

This is a question for those few owners of the Allison Acoustics Six, AKA the Allison Acoustics CD-6, AKA the RDL Acoustics S-1, AKA "Le Cube":

These speakers were designed by Roy Allison to have a flat response in the "typical livingroom" (whatever that is) when placed directly against or on a wall. The upward-firing 8" woofer goes against the prevailing audiophile paganisms, but I'm refurbishing a pair of CD-6 because I really like the sound they make.

I'm hoping on the longshot that there's people here who have experimented with placement. I've seen recommendations to hang them on their sides with the woofers facing each other or even upside upside down. I've also seen proponents of hanging them at nearly every various height. What say you?

If it helps, I've got an acoustically horrendous livingroom. The speakers are on the 14' wall of a 15'L x 14'W x 10'H room with the gear rack and flatscreen TV between the speakers and all of it centered. There's a couch, a 7' long record bin, and three tall windows with mini-blinds.
