For Me I have always used budget audio systems ($300.00 or so) in whatever location I happened to be living at. I never did any distance calculations or anything like that. I just made sure I had a well defined sound field which was basicly making sure the front and rear L and R speakers were all in line with each other and at the same hight and the center speaker lower. I always was happy with my results using that technique. Like mentioned before by chuckg , unless you are using really high end gear then the room doesn't have to be perfect. As long as you can establish a "Rectangle" sound field in the viewing area. You May get some bounce of other walls but drywall is very good at reflecting and absorbing sound nicely. That has been my experience anyway , hope this helps you.
