Speaker placement: On the rug OK?

Hi all,
For aesthetic and safety reasons I placed my speakers (& sub) ON the rug. This way I can hide my big fat NBS cables under the rug and not worry that my kids would trip on them.
The issue is I noticed from many professional pictures and pictures from this very forum that every one has the rug a few feet away from the speakers. Can anyone tell me which way is correct and why?
In case it makes a difference, my speakers touch the ground via spikes. Click here for pic or my system link has more pics.

I am not sure I understand Steuspeed's advise. Having the projector on the ceiling closer to the speaker is bad for the sound? So much so that it is worth an extra $5k to get a long throw projector? I'm guessing that the issue is that it is protruding. If that is the issue, I'm thinking the fire place, which is also protruding (Quite a lot more), is a far bigger problem. I am working on convincing my wife to let me take it out since we never really use it as it makes the small 19' x11'2" very hot very quickly. But she is not agreeing :(
