I'd like to make the wall behind the TV a half-wall, about 4' high. Behind that is another room 10' deeper and 15' wide. The half-wall is only to help the rooms feel open. Will this screw up my 7.1 surround? I'm more concerned with sound than aesthetics and will enclose the room if needed. Would appreciate any help, thanks.
It is not advised to place your speakers on the long wall of a room. Especially a room that approaches a square dimension like yours.

I would reconsider usiing the entire space with no walls and placing the display and speakers on the short wall. Seating distance should be 2/3 back from the speakers/display.
