Room Treatment? How important is it to treat the wall behind/between the speakers?

Hi all,

I've treated first reflections on the side walls and some bass absorption with 2 GIK Sound Blocks on the side walls next to each speaker - which seemed to work better than directly behind them.

The picture behind the speakers is painted canvas (reflective) but stuffed with some leftover Rockwool - which I understand is probably not doing much.

So my question is, should the painting be replaced with something that is effective next and if so, what should I use?

Pics in my virtual system.

Thank you.

I have not used available Software to create the management of Sound within my room, it is carried out using different configurations for absorbent and reflective materials.

The placement of materials used is now concluded and having Triangle Shaped Absorbent Materials in all Room Corners is a must have in my room.

This set up has a Absorbent used behind each Speaker.

Rockwool with a Mass of 35Kg / m3 and used at 100mm (4") Depth is an affective  absorbent and a very cost effective method. It is good practice to create a small dimension cavity between inner face of Rockwool and the Rooms Wall.
