Ideal room dimensions for great system sound?

I know this is a reeeeeeally open-ended question, but what is in your opinion an ideal room size and dimensionn in which to put a great sounding system? For starters, let's say we are using a nice tube amp, a pair of legacy whispers, and a vpi super scoutmaster turntable? Let's not consider all the system tweeks, but maybe roon size, dimensions, and materials for and in the walls/ceilings. I have a large unfinished basement with 9 foot ceilings, and I am about start doing something with it.

The ideal room dimensions would be none. But then, our home equipment isn't build for this and would sound quite small and lifeless.

Build yourself a nice comfortable room, not square, as large as you can and try to keep that height after adding a ceiling. Any money you were going to spend on the perfect room can be put to good room treatments. You will have a great room and you won't get all hung up on it.
