Acoustic Sound Treatment

I have installed 4 DIY 4'x 30'' Jon Risch's sound panels.

Three went on the back wall covering four French doors.
The other went on a side wall at the first reflection point. The other side is a open wall.

The result I got is almost unbelievable. I never dreamed that these panels would change the sound so much for the better!

The music was all over the place before the panels. Now the soundstage is where it belongs and the sound is more focused. LP's that I thought were not recorded well are indeed right sounding.

This audio hobby done right must hit on all cylinders to reach the ultimate end. One of them is sound treatment. We can disagree on cables etc. but you have to be BD&D not to hear a difference in a properly treated room.

The back wall ceiling starts on a upward climb to 22'.

Would two ceiling corner panels help out to further treat my room?

Rives, where does diffusion fit in? Does one consider a wall treated with diffusors as dead or live?

Reason I am asking, I have had some very unsatisfactory result when treating my back wall with diffusors. The same diffusors on the front wall (behind my speakers) seems to create a deeper soundstage and quite pleasant to my ear.

Thanks
