...why are the speakers placed where they are in relation to the front and side walls, i.e. what process was used to position them?Same question for the listening position relative to the speakers?
I used to use a 17' X 27' room and started with the "rule of thirds".
The problem you'll have in the narrower room, is getting the speakers away from the side wall and then ideally having the listening spot a farther back than the distance between the speakers - with only 13' of width to work with, thirds might be difficult.
Most likely, I'd guess the listening position is in a null spot for the midbass frequencies where they cancel out.
I would suggest a CD with test tones, like Sterophiile Test CD 2 - first sit in the listening spot while listen down the frequencies from about 200HZ, then walk around the room doing the same.
That way, you'll here and locate where the nulls and standing waves are to optimize the seating once the speakers are in the best location.
