I just did exactly this (moved to a smaller dedicated listening room from a larger shared space living room). I started with just an amp, source and maggies in the room, and a carpet on the floor, no furniture.I fairly quickly determined that there was enough architectural interference that one direction sounded much better than the other, so it was easy to find the best walls for the speakers. Everything else flows from this initial listening observation as far as location goes.
Not that my 1.6's are very near the walls. Nearfield listening where the furniture in the small room is speakers, chair, equipment rack, wall-mounted bookshelves for diffusion and track lights. No other furniture. Working now on room treatments. But it's all MINE and the rest of the family knows enough to STAY AWAY....
