Acoustics experts - a little help please

Hey all,

I have 9 foot ceilings and I sit in a 9 foot equilateral triangle with my speakers. Do I need to treat the ceiling? Absorption or defraction? I'm trying to get a deeper more 3D soundstage.Speakers are 46" from the front wall which is treated with absorption and defraction. 

Thanks!

@ditusa This is great advice, components and racks not good room treatments. My sound stage extends from very near floor to ceiling, coherent life size images require properly designed acoustic treatments on front wall, diffusion works for me.

Treating ceiling is good, however, with 9' ceiling somewhat less important. In the end acoustic treatments can only do so much, the equipment and recording provide the soundstage/imaging, room treatments simply allow for realizing  full potential of the equipment and recording.
