bass traps . Which kind

Hello . I am getting conflicting views on bass traps. I currently have the "superchunk" diy in my corners.
I have been doing research again on room treatments. Some are saying it is best to leave a air gap behind them in the corners . Ethan weiner of real traps has 2x4 4inch thick panels in the corners with lots of space behind them
Do these outperform the superchunk ? if they do i will have lots of material if i reconfigure the superchunk
I could do alot more area .
What do you think ?

If your speakers are set up properly and assuming you have a somewhat normal room there is absolutely no need for any room treatment.
Normal furnishings drapes, etc, do a remarkable job of letting the sound decay in a natural way.

If the speakers are not set up to act "as one" no amount of room treatment will ever get you where you want to be.
