Thus, while we have not eliminated room modes, we have pushed them well below the typical levels you'd find in smaller (20x30x14) tracking rooms that need to compromise other acoustical properties to make up the difference.
I am not addressing the walls. I am addressing the corners, which become horns, focusing their reflections in a beam. That would be my concern.
