My question is this, how far apart should they be for best possible performance? I am looking for the best possible sound from the 7.1 design, and now is the time to change, before the drywall goes up.

Keep them 6ft apart. THX style placement doesn't work well with TRUE 7.1 signals where each of the rear surrounds are getting different discrete information, as opposed to the DSP generated information you get from a THX processor. THX recommendations are designed to work with THX based products and processors. Their recommendations do not always work on non THX products.
