Room ratios


Would it make sense to reduce the size of my soon to be listening room(a second bedroom now) from 12'x 16'x 8'high to the recommended size of 11.2' x 15.2' x 8' h. I understand ratios are very important to reduce unwanted standing waves.

I would prefer to change the room size before adding any sort of electronic device to correct. Hence the question should I make the room 11.2' X 15.2', this is not difficult at all for me, just hope to best use my efforts towards good sound
I have seen a few different ratios. I am not sure which is best. The one I am looking at now comes from the book by Robert Harley; The complete guide to high end audio, he states that the ideal length and width of a room with an 8' ceiling is 15.2' x 11.2'

I have seen other ratios as well. Anyone have more info on this?

Thanks
