It's good when they're back up against the wall, even better when embedded in it, baffle flush with the wall.
The closer you can get a speaker to the boundary, the less problem from self-interference there is from it. But if you can't put it within a couple feet from the wall, it's best for it to be really far away. That's why most audiophile believe that the speakers should be far from walls - They should, unless they can be acoustically close to the boundary, which is even better.
