Is it OK to place speakers behind me ?


I will be setting up a new office soon and it looks like the best location available for my two audioengine 5 powered speakers will be on a shelf behind my desk. I listened to my main stereo today and it seems to sound OK that way. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated
Thanks

If it is OK to you then how could anyone argue.

Personally, if I had to listen to music in an non-'audiophile' set up, such as coming from the side or rear, I would reduce it to a mono signal/source, or just putting the speakers next to each other. It would then be more realistic, i.e. like listening to music from the next room or outside the window, etc. I would then be alert only to musical content, not the audio artifacts
