Sir I'm really not a fan of bass traps in its capability to significantly reduce the low frequencies. For home theatre application I believe most watchers would watch the movies with slightly boosted low frequencies to make the experience more immersive. And if there are rattling issues, i would recommend fixing the rattling issue so you can have a better "bass". Or lower the sub gain if you want to "trap" the bass. Or perhaps EQ the lower frequencies.But for 2 channel applications, that is a different topic. Instead of bass traps I would recommend treating the corners with custom made thick absorber panels or thick sound absorbers. It would have the same effect as the bass traps.
Thank you for the solid advice. I'll definitely look into it.My main purpose is for 2-channel music and I wanted to get rid of the occasional boominess by attenuating some of the bass frequency peaks and dips while preserving overall bass levels. So basically I want to flatten the bass frequency curve with EQ as a last resort.
Talking of speakers in relation to the room, I wonder what are benefits if the stereo speaker drivers are installed in the front wall i.e. the front wall itself is the baffle.
If you only have 1-2 frequencies you want to control, you can make helmholtz resonators.
