The particular
pianos I've been involved with sounded horribly boxy when against the wall.
I usually pull the piano out from the wall about 8" at a time, until it
sounds nice. It often ends up about 2-3 ft out.

And sometimes it's nice to angle them vis a vis the wall, instead of
keeping the rear of the soundboard parallel.
