What I have found to work with my Acoustat X is to bring them out into the room about 8' from the wall behind them which I've treated with 6- 2x4x3.5 inch professionally made absorptive panels.
GIK corner traps from floor to ceiling also made for a much better listening experience than before with no room treatment.
What really kicked things up a notch was placing a 6' ASC half trap exactly in the middle of the speakers but not placed on the back wall.
It is on the same plane as the speakers evenly spaced between them and as far out from the wall as the speakers.
I know the rules of stats, so I have no audio gear or racks between my speakers -but- placing the trap between them as I've done(by experiment) is quite good.
Things just tighten up and snap into focus,the image between the speakers is more defined,perhaps due to less crosstalk information?
It's worked so well for me,I thought I would post for others to try.
