Third row, directly in front of the speaker.

Oh wait, that was some crazy old man hogwash. Skip that. [evil]

Generally somewhere in the center of the room is your best area, but if the room is designed well and the speakers properly aimed, you should have good coverage all over.

Central, within the width of the screen and about half way between screen and back wall.
