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!

I have 3 48x24x6 bass traps above my listening position. I plan to add diffusion above the speakers. It partly depends on your flooring. With carpet, the diffusion is more important but if you have hard floors the ceiling cloud helps a lot.

It really depends on what is going on in your room.  If your speakers tend to run "hot" up top you may need absorption on the ceiling. If the speakers run dull or even warm, diffusion may get you there.
