Scott,

> Yes it is all rather complicated. <

I don't mean to put you on the spot, but even you have to admit that's not much of an answer. I've seen you and a few others state repeatedly around the various forums that a "full" mode calculation is necessary, and any mode calculation that doesn't include non-axials modes is incomplete and misleading.

Since you stated above that knowing all the modes is useful not only when establishing dimensions for a new room not yet built, I'm hoping you can elaborate and tell us specifically how one gets from that list of 80 modes to knowing what panels are needed and where to put them. I'm especially interested in knowing how you'd handle the uncertainty of knowing if the modes as predicted even align with how the room responds. That is, the disparity of up to 20 percent I once measured versus what was predicted.
