Surround placement question

Hey guys, i'm finally getting around to setting up my surround sound this weekend after a long wait thru the holidays and being super busy and stuff.

So here's the deal, my living room/foyor is shaped like a backwards L, kinda like _l So, the tv sits in the top middle of the _ and the sectional its in the bottom left corner of the _. So the right most seat of the sectional is dead center on the tv, and its about 14ft from the back wall to the wall behind the tv. I've already got the front placed just how I want them. I've got a pretty simple question for the rears. I bought a pair of http://www.thespeakercompany.com/TSAT-1000SW--P59C9.aspx in black. Now, to be equidistant from my seat one goes into the bottom left corner of the _, and the other will be obviously on the right side. Now, the wife likes to sit just to my left or in the corner, where the left rear will be in her ear. Now, those speakers can "corner" mount putting them at a 45 degree angle, should I mount both at a 45 degree angle in toward the tv or should i mount them on the rear wall directly facing the mains? I'd like to get the most out of that left rear without making my wife go deaf in the process :)

Hopefully you guys can imagine what i'm trying to say and help me out.

If you go to the Audioholics online mag. under tips and ticks there is a speaker setup guide that is really good. It even has pictures, which was good for me!! I can not post links yet so I can not give the lazy link :)

Well, looks like it does suggest angling them inward. Thanks for directing me to where I needed to go :)
