I'm not sure I would mind having the rear surrounds a little bit far away. What's more important to me is that they be pretty diffuse. Not sure I'd want them too close, especially if pointed directly at the listeners. Might draw more attention than they are really designed for. They are mostly there for ambiance, and the occasional pan effect.

I like my front channels to be very directional with a high ratio of direct-to-reflected sound. The surrounds I like just the opposite. In fact, I found that pointing them at a wall and reflected back towards the listeners works great. Point the (side and rear) surrounds so the angle of incidence directs the reflection generally towards the listening area.
