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 ?

I would strongley reccomend room treatments.There is a night and day difference in the sound in my room. My research on this subject came up with do finite answer . some say air gap some say no. I think i am going to dismantle the superchunks and make panels for the ceiling lines. Also more panels for second reflection points.
I suggest anyone take the time to read this article on room acousthttp://www.ethanwiner.com/acoustics.htmlics. Lamens writtten easily comprehended.
A pair of GIK 244 traps placed in the front corners behind my speakers delivered a substantial improvement. I purchased them in hopes of improving bass. To my surprise I got across the board improvements that were particularly stunning in the midband. Seems that my room had been doing harm to string tone. A brightness that seemed present in too many recordings went away after hanging the traps. The GIK traps are the real deal and a bargain too IMHO.
