This is probably not the answer you are looking for, but the reason there is not a given “perfect” distance to the back wall is because it will depend on your room, if you are using a subwoofer or not, and if music or movies is your main source of entertainment.

As OrionPax36 says, the distance to the back wall will determine how much and deep bass you get from the main speakers. The other factor is that with more distance to the back wall, you get a larger delay on the reflected sound bouncing off the speakers. For music content, you would prefer some delay here as it creates a larger soundstage and more depth to it.
