Difusers on the speakers?

I’ve read hundreds of posts on this forum about room treatments,

Today the following occured to me

Many posts talks about room treaments - specifially diffusers - and how their placement benefits sound quality by dispersing/absorbing reflected sound waves
- my speakers are a rectangular box 10" wide and 40" tall with a very flat front
- it occured to me that having some type of diffuser (or absorbtion material) on the front of them might improve sound quality

My guess is that speakers with a slightly curved front has a buit in diffuser

Has anyone tried this?

What was the result?

Cheers - Steve

And design them? And carry out listening tests? There are speakers with convex front baffle that are said to reduce unwanted reflections. Suggest you leave it to the speaker designers or else become one if you think you know better.
