A audible issue are early reflections induced by the baffle and its corners.
on frequencies which have a wavelength shorter than baffle dimensions early reflections will mask very important information on the programm whitch is beeing reproduced. That is the reason why studios build they'r main speakers flush into the walls with acustic elements close to it to absorbe sound bouncing of.
The best speakers I've heard in my live (and I have build and heard many) had mid and highrange drivers hanging free. You hear the difference when you again listen to a box with speakers.
