Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener?

I have treated the 1st and 2nd reflection points and I have sound panels between my speakers. I also have tube traps in all 4 corners, but I am not sure what (if any) should be done with the wall behind the listener.

That wall presently has a DIY rack system that holds about 5000-6000 cd’s. I believe it helps scatter the sound. But I’m not sure if that is the right approach.

So, what are you guys using on that wall? Diffusion, Absorbtion, Reflection? Anything else?

I would appreciate your thoughts.

I use Rockwool @ 35Kg per M3 floor to ceiling in height as a Absorption Room Corner conditioners. Directly behind and spanning between the Speakers I use a Diffusion Panel.

Each Side Wall has a diffusion pane.

The Rear Wall has a Aborption and Diffusion Panel set at a height of the listeners ears.

The sound is managed in a manner that has improved attraction with these measures in place.

Would it be identified as a accurate treatment using tools the can measure room modes is an unknown for me.
