Will this room yield as good of a result as the 1.25:1.6?

Edit: I ask because that size should work in the space I have and the mode calc looks great (the Bonello makes me happy!). I think it's also musically good but I'd like to see what you say first.

Well, the 1.66 is getting close to a major 6th below the 1, but it's not making a perfect 4th with the 1.28, but rather a quarter-tone interval right between a major third and a perfect 4th. That is to say, 1.66 divided by 1.28 = 1.3, which is right smack between 1.26 (M3rd) and 1.33 (P4th). And 1.3 is one of Louden's "good" ratios, as I'm sure you're aware.
No, this set is not quite as good as 1 : 1.26 : 1.59, but the overall spacing is very similar, thus, it will sound far better than rooms with wacked out dimensional ratios that have poor overall spacing.
