There is a direct correlation between your room’s size, shape and loudspeaker placement.
There is a direct correlation between your room's size and shape and the placement of your speakers. In a "long" room set-up, with the seating located in the middle of the room, it is best to mount the surround speakers on sidewalls parallel to the main seating position. If they were mounted on the rear wall in this room configuration there may be a pronounced "hole" in the sound stage, with sounds "jumping" from front to rear rather than there being a smooth transition. In a "short" room set-up with seating on the rear wall you might get away with speakers being mounted on the rear wall. Furthermore, depending on the distance of the side walls from the listener, you might prefer to use floorstanding speakers as surrounds instead of dipoles.

When a wave hits a solid boundary (e.g a wall) it gets reflected, causing a so called “standing wave
You must work with the room available to you.
Room shape, reflections, reverberation time and isolation, are key elements you must consider.
They range up to 194dB SPL! Check the following table.
