Trick for Ideal Speaker Placement

I came across this method on the Steve Hoffman Forums, using the stereo "Waterloo Sunset" to dial in your speaker placement for maxiumum stereo field without losing center focus. It works really, really well.

I found a version of the song with isolated vocals, which helped me make out the background vocals a little better:

Maybe this has been posted here before, but it is valuable knowledge if you haven't quite sorted your speaker orientation. Just thought I'd share!

A little while back I found a youtube video of a walk-around. I think the guy was walking around Tokyo. He used a nice camera on a gimble. Seeing a far away place as if you are walking around yourself is cool, but the stereo mic setup moving through ambient and direct sound fields was super useful for zeroing in speaker position as well.
