Would diffusion help in this space


I have been playing around with speaker positioning for a while and making marginal gains ...baby steps best way to describe it

I've since moved my speakers a bit further back and while this has helped the bottom end I find I've lost a bit of depth would using diffusion on the side walls help

Diffusion could help your sound if placed on the wall behind your chair. Although I doubt it, it might even help on the side walls as well.

Diffusion on side walls will help in soundstaging and depth. However, it will depend on how close your speakers are to the side walls. For small rooms with the speakers close to side walls, the effect will be larger. In your case whereby the side walls are further away from the speakers, the effect may not be too substantial though. Anyway you can't place anything on your left wall since there is a door there.

The standard reply from Ethan is to place absorption at first and 2nd reflection points and diffusion everywhere else. I remember reading this somewhere in the forums or his website.
