Side or back wall more important for speakers?


Many of us are not fortunate enough to have a dedicated listening that allows us to position our speakers optimally. If you had to choose one, which would it be:

1. Place speakers away from back wall
2. Place speakers away from side walls

From my non-scientific tests, it seems that the sidewalls play a bigger role in soundstaging and achieving a holographic sound. What do you think?

By the way, which is correct...front wall or ball wall when referring to the wall directly behind the speakers? I have seen it referred to both ways...just to be clear, in this instance I am referring to the wall behind the speakers.
