non parallel walls in listening room


I have the chance to build a listening room about 16' x 30'.  I'll be setting up my 2 channel along the short side and listening towards the middle/back.  I can make the 30' wall non-parallel.  My question is exactly non-parallel does one need to reduce resonances?  Are we talking a degree or so, or a few inches along the whole length, or a couple feet??  Anything more than a few inches would be hard for me to do and I wonder if a small amount would make a difference.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

A little late here but yes, a small variation from parallel will benefit you here. If you purposefully make the room asymmetrical to some degree nodes will be far less likely to reinforce or cancel. 
Alcoves of any size are bass collectors so stay away from these.
