Which Golden Ratio??? .......Help

I have seen a few different golden ratio's BUT I am not sure what is the right one to use.
I have seen the Olsen one - 1X 1.25 X 3.2
Boner - 1.00 X 1.26 X 1.59
Louden - 1.0 X 1.40 X 1.9
the other one - 1 X 1.6 X 2.33

Can anybody tell me what ratio to use before I screw up my project!! Also are cathedral ceilings bad for acoustics - I have a room that has 8' 9" high walls that go up to a 16 ft vaulted ceiling!! Should I build a dry-wall ceiling and cut off the top part of the peak/ cathedral??

Thanks for any HELP!!

Hi:

I think "Perfect room" is an oxymoron. One reason i suppose Rives developed the "parc" electronics and why drivers in a box inevitably need corrective circuits and close attention to baffles etc...

There are other versions of the ratio too. Bolt, Sepmeyer,Volkmann....I don't think it's the absolute supremacy of one over the other so much as using one, measuring it's weekness in your particular application, and then making adjustments for it.

Cheers
I remain,
