Good advice!
By "angling" the TV, do you mean up/down or left/right?
You shouldn't need up/down if you set it at the right height, and left/right can make speaker placement difficult.
The critical speaker placement is the center channel ... it should be centered L/R, and mountrd as close to the screen as possible, either above or below. If above, a slight tilt downward may be desireable.
Left and right should be ideally 8 feet apart. If wall mounted, center on screen, if floor standing don't worry sbout it!
Enjoy!
