| Hi Ethan,
Figure 18 clearly shows the reduced ringing in the bass range.
Figures 63 and 65 show a response that is less dominated by room modes. Also note that DRC works to below 50 Hz where the traps don't. This is an example where DRC could be combined with room treatment to get "the best of both worlds".
I agree that a playback system should have no modal ringing in the bass range but this is not necessarily the first problem you should attack for every room and every budget.
