Potential new room, will this work well?

Yes, looking at your Freq charts...your problems do look fairly EQ friendly. Your screen is very large, I can see the placement issues you may have with the side walls.

Still, nothing "that" major to deal with IMO. Aren't we lucky to have a wife that lets us play like this!

Taking 8' (or so) away from the 40' will not have a big effect (if any) in a room that large...It may help, more than hurt.

Large rooms don't suffer acoustical problems to the same degree that small rooms do, unless they are to large....thats another can of worms though.

Sure, you can read all you want....still, I said 8' "or so"...With 40' to work with, I don't see a problem that can't be worked out....thats more than comforting, it's a fact.

Also, with a room that large, you will have the advantage of optimum speaker and listener placement within the space...even better.

All rooms need some amount of room treatment...maybe a touch of EQ'ing as a final sound tweak. Every room is different.

All the reading is fine, everyone should read up...and then, disregard about 50% of what you just read...it does not apply. Experience is the better teacher.

I've read his posts before...he is not a total newbee. His question was fairly general...so was my answer. I left the exact placement of the "new" rear wall for him. The other walls, and the ceiling are already fixed in place...yes?

If he does some of your reading, I'm sure he can come up with something, other than the wrong place to build the wall? (40' is a lot to work with)

BTW, I did build my audio room, with a little help from my son...and a few friends that were unlucky enough to stop by at the wrong time....great acoustics, if I do say so myself.

I've looked at your room (very nice!)....I can see why you have a few problems though, and they are not the rear wall....of course you knew that.
