If it was easy for me to convert one of my rooms to one of the recommended golden-ratio sizes, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats great room acoustics. If you have a great room, even mid-fi gear can sound glorious.
The alternative of spending a lot of money on bass traps and expensive equalizers and getting worse results does not make sense to me, provided that you have the ability to easily alter your room dimensions to a size that will support relatively linear bass response. Most folks know that's the hardest area to get right.
