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

In the TV show "House", the speakers are behind the desk chair. Since House has a Sota and is really smart, it must be ok. PS. Any episodes where he actually listens to the stereo through the speakers and not the headphones?

Never, never turn your back on a pair of speakers - they cannot be trusted. Many who have done so have paid the price. Be safe, place your speakers in front of you, look em dead in the drivers, they'll back down - they have no backbone, only copper windings.
