[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 1158510, member: 517"] It does depend on the distance of the back wall to the listener - I would think in most situations absorption would be better directly behind, with the option of diffusers to the outside of the listening position on the back wall. Problem with diffusion too close is it's not enough time for the sound energy to disperse smoothly, causing a phase like effect off the back wall. Not likely though, diffusers are mathematically modelled to evenly scatter sound across a given frequency range, a bookshelf will not do that. It will scatter at random points, mostly reflect and exacerbate some - in other words, not evenly dispersed at all. [/QUOTE]
