Help for placement of Paradigm di-pole surrounds

I'm impressed and thankful for the great advice and the time spent by members to help others. What a great community.

My problem is figuring out placement for two Paradigm Milenia ADP di-pole speakers to be used as surround speakers. The listening area is 25' length by 15' width but since it is an open-area concept design there are only three walls (one long wall missing). The front end is three channel and the Paradigms are intended to serve as surrounds. The rear wall consists of usual dry wall but also a patio door that is about 6.5 feet of glass - up to ceiling. The ceilings are 9 feet.

I haven't chosen a sub yet but I'm leaning to the largest SVS sub I can afford and don't have placement for that figured out yet. The front have Monitor Audio Silver 8's along with a sound bar for the middle channel.

I chose di-poles because I wanted the sound information to not be beamed but I'd really like to hear opinions on placements of di-poles in differing installations on issues of boundary proximity, height and distance to ceilings, and any other tid-bits of knowledge.

Thanks in advance, Mark
