I agree with larger is better. I've heard that a rectangular room is better, and in my experience it is true.
I'm currently hunting a new house, and I am looking for a room that is 17' x 14', approximately.
I usually sit about 11 feet from the front speakers and TV which are on the shorter wall. So, I'm not sitting at the back of a long room. The sound just seems worse in a square room no matter where you sit.
I think Wayne P. said that sheet rock with insulation behind it is desirable for its wave cancellation properties. I think in my new house I will fill non-insulated walls with foam insulation.
The most insulated walls in a typical room will be two. Those will be outside walls of the house.
