One thing that I have mentioned a few times before is that speakers on stands can be very dangerous if you have small children in the house (or visitors with children). A 16 pound speaker falling 3' can cause serious injuries. I thought of that issue after buying 36" stands for my Infinity Beta 20's which are about 20 pounds. However, no children in my house; at least for now.
Yea, this is one thing that worries me a little. We have a 18 month old son who likes to get in to things. Now, I could place this in corners and whatnot so it reduces the chance he gets at them, but it obviously doesn't eliminate that chance.
After thinking about it some more what I might do is just build a little shelf out of MDF for one of the speakers so I can turn it the way it has to be and then I just have to move the other speaker to the other wall. Attached is my current layout and right now they are wall mounted facing straight ahead (just because I haven't figured out how I really want them) so as you can see, they aren't even aimed towards the seating.
So I think I might just mount the right one on the wall behind the subwoofer facing the couch and then build a shelf for the left one so I can angle that towards the couch as well.
