You can work a mid sidewall location so long as you have ample distance to the front wall (behind the speaker) 40%to half the room, you keep tweeters in and you do not apply toe in (speaker is perpendicular to the sidewall). Listening position would be at the end of the room about 2 ft from the back wall. It does not work in square rooms and 1.5 and 2 Length to Width ratio rooms - such as your 12X18 room.
Otherwise, if toe in is used then you need some distance from the sidewalls as well. At least 3 ft for a tweeter out position.
I and a few others have tried every conceivable location in a variety of rooms and for those rooms with the right geometry the sidewall position is often best.

I never said that. You can re-read my post if you are confused about what I said. This person was not a friend, he was my brother. He had spent quite a few years getting the 3.6s the way he wanted them to sound. Amps, pre-amps and cabling were changed often and with little regard for budget. They were very good when he had finished. He was also in a large dedicated music room and was free to play with the system as he wished.
You just can't changeover a system like the Infinity and think it's going to be perfect right off the bat. It wasn't and he had advanced the 3.6s to sound their best. So like I said it took him some time to optimize the RS1Bs. You can untwist your panties now.
