Don't think it's a good idea having any surround speaker very close.

-&-

As an aside, in the eighties I used to visit friends that had horrible 
ideas where to place stereo speakers. Either Diagonally across rooms, 
Left in one room and the Right in another, or both stacked side by side 
or stacked on each other.

Now I'm visiting people that have placed all their surround 5 or 6 
speakers and subs neatly underneath the TV ...

Hmmm ...
