Lately I've been incrementally adding more acoustic treatments to my room and have been discussing my objectives with GIK. I'd suggest giving them a call (or probably other similar outfits) who really are the professionals and are very helpful in real time. For me, some of their most effective single products treat through both absorption as well as diffusion.
Diffusion vs. Sound Absorption views
I have Spatial Audio M4 Triode Master open baffle speaker in my listening room. I have sound treatment behind the top of the speakers with sound absorption panels hung on the wall and an Aurelex foam panel down to the floor.
It was recently brought to my attention that sound diffusion panels behind the speakers might yield an improvement in SQ over the sound absorption panels. The advice I got is that OB speakers benefit more from rear wall sound treatment with diffusion rather than absorption. I put the issue to you learned folks for advice. Thanks.
