William, while in the case of Canterbury's, or larger in the Prestige line, in most cases they are seen near the back wall. This would suggest that they are designed with that in mind.
In my case, my 150 liter (16" W X 20" D X 48" H) enclosures are out into the room, with the back corner of the speaker about 60" from the wall. I found this placement on Cardas' site, it's a worthwhile read, and this placement has worked out well for me.
The Canterburys are most likely too large to sit this far into your room, unless it is particulatly cavernous.
Have fun, you've got a lot of great listening in front of you.
Regards,
Dan
