What are ways to fix speaker dips in my speaker or audio room


I have recently hired an acoustic engineer and after a day of measuring room acoustics and he came back with what I needed to fix and one of my speakers dip at 54 HZ and would DSP help or a lot of bass traps in the frequency work better?

54hz dip is probably the ceiling cancelation in a room with your geometry. 
How tall is your ceiling? 54hz is a 5’ quarter wave (see chart below, 54hz is 20 feet long). So most likely the ceiling.
Moving the speakes around probably will not fix it as the ceiling height is fixed. I have a similar issue. You can trap the ceiling (which I did) and it helped a bit but not as much as I had hoped. Subs with DSP, preamp with tone controls or an equalizer are probably the realistic options.
