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 wouldn't bother. Just get some acoustical panels for your corners and you'll be fine. Furniture helps too.

Agree with Aball, the differences you're talking about are insubstantial. You'll be much better off paying some attention to first reflection points and some judicious room treatment.
I'm with Arthur - just install some corner bass traps in each corner (larger the better)
