Acoustic resonators in place of room treatment

Attended Frank of Acoustic resonators demo during Kuala lumpur AV show , Malaysia yesterday. Demostrated his magic show and I can really hear the difference . During Q & A session someone asked him whether it is necessary to do room treatment if we use the acoustic resonators. Was told it's sufficient to use only the resonators up to max 11 pieces only. I got my room treated using Rives level1 ( only level possible in Malaysia) & faced with construction issues & it's only theoretical design only. If it's truly work , it's certainly preferably over traditional room
treatment. Cost wise it's comparable . Anybody has tried the resonator method of room treatment & what is your impression?

Hotsauce, I cannot stand Rives rooms. I do, indeed, believe what I do.

Just curious. What is it about Rives designed rooms that displeases you?

Slipknot1, the music does not sound live. I have only heard two such rooms, however.

Has anyone tried egg cups?

Is there any reason why acoustic resonators have the market cornered on all metal cups/bells that resonate audibly and improve room acoustics?

After all, to extend the analogy, Rives only does professionally with more know how and expertise than what DIY'ers can also achieve with fibreglass chunks etc....i.e Rives follows well known acoustic principles and science...

Has anyone tried egg cups?
I did years ago -- egg-cup boxes the paper variety. On the ceiling and side walls. The results were OK, I guess -- but the looks are out of this world.
Forget it. (in the old times, makeshift studios used egg cups)
