Back wall treatment?

I have a small room which I’ve treated with bass trap in the corners and absoprtion panels at 1st reflection points on the front wall, side walls and ceiling. I am quite happy with the results. I am considering what to do with my back wall. Due to the size of the room I have to sit with my back essentially right up against this back wall. The wall only goes up to about ear level, above that its open to my family room and kitchen.

So my question is what do you suggest for this short back wall? Broadband absorption with something like the GIK 244 panel or diffusion or nothing at all?

If your head is almost against the back wall, you shouldn't need anything. Your brain automatically rejects reflective sound at that point. Sitting on a nice overstuffed couch or chair helps as well and should be all you need. It's how I listen and it works very well. 

Give it time to see how it sounds.

All the best,
