Sorry, just re-read your post more carefully and I think I misunderstood sound isolation and sound proofing for also trying to have a less reflective room. I fully agree with the notion of sound proofing (we did that through double studding and double sheetrock and heavy oak doors). I also did a wooden floor over concrete and added thick wool carpeting.
As to room depth and pulling the 3.7's off the back wall, I think you do have enough space (but that's where I'd be tempted to run the REW software to test where you are likely to create reinforcing reflections). What I tried to do was to put a lot of sound dispersing materials behind the speakers -- open shelving with lots of books that are randomly pulled forward or backward to create additional diffusion.
My unique problem was that my three other walls are nothing but glass, floor to ceiling (but they can be opened so I can also effectively have no side or rear walls at all). That made for a lot more compromises and careful construction plus window coverings...
