You should not keep the surround speakers in the front. This will not create a virtual sound bubble around you.  Each speaker in the surround sound should be placed in its respective place and not all in one single spot. There are new av receivers that can give surround sound vibes from the speakers at the front but still, I will not recommend placing all the speakers at the front. You can utilize this feature of the receiver when you don’t have the budget to buy all the speakers for your surround sound.
