A fully reflectionless room has all of the flat surfaces at irrational ratios towards each other, so that no planar wavefront ever reaches the point of origin. Thus, no symmetrical field around the listener will either.
That'd amount to anechoicity, which is not nice. Thus, better go with high rational numbers, so that sound has time to damp out via reflection and absorption before it reaches my ears.
Irregular walls/dispersers can sort of do the job, too, but not as neatly as the kind of irregular hall I'm talking about. (Geodesic) domes, they would work, except that they're far too regular for that sort of use before being fitted with internal reflecting surfaces and damping material.
