[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 201326, member: 34"] If your speakers have problematic off-axis response (e.g., upper mid-range peak), then it is best to absorb the early reflections (as loudspeaker are usually designed to have flat on-axis response). One way to assess the spectral balance of the system (subjectively) is to listen to it from outside the room (e.g. an adjoining hallway). Absorbers also reduce reverberation time; I'm unclear as to what effect diffusers have in this area. Maybe their effect is to disrupt normal reflective patterns, though I doubt that it will change the net spectral energy in the room. But it may not be as simple as this, because it looks like some diffuser I have seen pictures of are made of absorptive material (am I mistaken?). [/QUOTE]
