The "swarm" approach recommended by Geddes (and used by many before then) has merits... and disadvantages. I personally feel that dipole bass radiators deals with room modes better because it does not excite them to begin with. It's also a much simpler approach, only requiring two "boxes" rather than six or more. Using many woofers requires a very low crossover point (greater group delay), etc. IME. YMMV.
