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.

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)
I would build in soffits, soffit traps, corner traps, and use a Rives PARC. Those room ratios are going to give you serious bass problems and you will probably need to electrically correct, but don't do only that. Try to reduce the problem as much as reasonably possible first.
