I can’t help but chime in. I’ll steer clear of speaking about Dennis specifically. I have spoken to him on the phone and met him in person at an audio show. I have my opinions but no need to elaborate.
It seems we have moved from corner bass traps to bass traps in general. My experience suggests that corner bass traps if designed correctly and implemented when needed can help mitigate low frequency issues (below 250hz). The hard part is knowing what type of bass trap design is right for your room and then implementing it correctly. I’v used, designed and built many different types of bass traps. Membrane and diagrammatic work the best. Using multiple subwoofers set up correctly throughout the room can also provide benefits. I have room measurements to prove it. The thing is, there are so many variables that contribute to low frequency room modes, one strategy alone may not be enough. It’s really hard to design and build a corner bass trap (triangle shaped) that has the mass/ Q factor or membrane structure to effectively manage bass below 250hz. The good news is that Bass issues below 250hz can be controlled or mostly eliminated even in smaller rooms, but it takes a lot of work and understanding.
