Fxi A4 placement

I'd like to first thank everyone for the help previously. I finally got my Polk Monitor 60's and CS2, man what a difference! Now that I have the bug, I'm asking around to get the best opinion to upgrade my rears. Currently I'm using Bose 201 and for rears they are not too bad, but I'd still like to upgrade.
Below you can see how my rears are currently mounted on stands coming from the wall. Would the FXi work on the stands if there is no wall directly behind them? I'm afraid the very back of the wall is too far from my listening area and will be difficult to mount because of the doors.
You can't see from the pictures, but I'm afraid mounting on the sides won't work either as there is a door next to the couch and the speaker would have to be moved in front of the door on the wall which would be in front of the actual listening area.
I'm not sure if the Fxi A4 requires them to be up against walls, if I could just put them in the stands where the rears are now and that would work, great! Or would they work if I got some floor stands and put them behind the couch that way? I guess it's either this or look at the monitor 30s. Thanks!

FXI A4 in my opinion are good. The height is good. Your ear is the best judge

So you don't need to have them flush against the wall to get the most from them? I guess that was my biggest concern.

bump... not a lot of Fxi owners out there? Suppose calling Polk Directly would be best?
