Thanks David for your responce.
He'll be using a Denon receiver that has room eg. What do you think about placing the speakers on the 3rd's or 5th's of the room? The room can be made shorter on the long end if that would make the performance better. The 11'x26' is just the outer dimemtions before any walls are put in. The walls will go in after it is determined what size is the optimum shape.
I really appreciate your help.

I guessed that you were asking about the length. You wouldn't want to make the 11' width any narrower.

The important thing is to work out where the screen and centre speaker, plus the freestanding front speakers are going to be located. Then work out the listening position, especially if there's going to be 2 or more rows of seating, and from there you can work out where the back wall goes. Work out the spacings starting from the location of the screen and front speakers and you can't go wrong.

There's lots of speaker placement methods but they all depend to some degree on the room and also on the speakers. Find out what the speaker manufacturer recommends and work from there if you can.

If the Denon receiver has the Audyssey EQ function it will certainly help even if placement and distances aren't ideal. I've read mixed comments about Audyssey but in the room my HT system is in, an open plan living area with an uncarpeted ceramic tile floor, lots of glass and reflective surfaces, and not really enough space for the speakers I'm using, the Audyssey EQ in my Denon receiver does a very nice job of delivering a result which is more than acceptable. It isn't as good as what I get in my audio system which is in a dedicated room, but it tames the hardness of the room and it's certainly good enough to let me enjoy movies and even music videos quite well.
