What type of speakers do you have or intend to run ?
Personally, i'd rather see you go with something around 19' long if you plan on placing the mains on the short wall. While i think that 10' is too narrow ( you'll need MAJOR room treatment ), especially if you plan on using a center channel speaker or have large floorstanders, 19' would work better than 22'. This would allow you to build suitable component racks into the wall and sink your big screen TV ( if you have one ) into the 3' false wall. You have now gotten rid of the "clogging" in the soundstage and imaging "artery" that lies between the mains AND reduced the potential for reinforced room nodes. 17' would also work for doing this and allow more room to work behind the wall in terms of plumbing the electrical cables that connect the components, but it also eats up 2 more feet of space. There are a LOT of things to consider, so take your time and don't jump into something that you didn't plan for. Sean
