From a physics standpoint, you can end up with destructive interference at various frequencies when the rear channels reach your ear at a time out of phase with the front channels.
If you're wanting to achieve the best "sound stage", there are so many differing opinions on how to do so. When it comes to your midbass and lower midrange, you generally want them as far forward (to keep the pathlength of your left and right channels as equidistant as possible). For upper midrange and tweeters, the location is not as critical as achieving similar SPL and frequency response on each side.
If you want to get really in depth, have a read of Brian Moore's "An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing". It's a very worthy read, in my opinion, and has taught me a lot as I prepare for SQ competitions next year.
