Hm. He gave up a crucial part of the midbass, and then he ended up employing electronic EQ and out of phase bass because he wasn't willing to put in the necessary amount of bass trapping. If you sit 3' to the left in that room, I'm willing to bet that nice flat curve he ended up goes straight to h?ll. However, he did get absorption on the rear reflection points, and that gets him big points, because a lot of people forget that wall.
And in fairness, in a room that size, it's hard to get things right, even with a full blown analysis, let alone by trial and error. 12'x12'x8' is every acoustican's worst nightmare. (Well, except for the phrase "My wife doesn't want me to move anything or put stuff on walls, and my budget is $150; what can I do?")
You could do a lot worse than that plan, but in a larger room I'd look for some discussion of diffusion, and more trapping.
In the end it comes down to how fussy you are and what you want to spend. HT tends to have a lot of bass ("It's my HT and I'll crank The Matrix up to 100db if I want to"). Unfortunately, bass trapping done right takes space - 2 traps angled in the corners is a start, but not usually the whole solution, if you want to get it right. The best advice is to set your budget in advance, know how much work you want to put in (trial and error is work), and know how to recognise "good enough." Only then can you select the compromises that are going to work for YOU.
