While diffusors may not actually measurably alter the frequency balance of reflections, a "perceived" reduction in HF energy might present itself when diffusion happens.And this is because (or so I believe), the more the reflected sound energy is "diffused" (mixed up and scattered), the less "spiky" the polar response profile of the sound energy is.
Undiffused HF sound energy bouncing off of a reflective surface has a "spiky" sonic profile - similar to profile of a spiky cactus variety. If one of those HF "spikes" enters your ear canal it sounds *sharp*.
A diffused reflection, OTOH, has a sonic profile analogous to the silky or "hairy" cactus variety. When diffuse clusters of HF reflections enter your ear canal, they are perceived as being less *sharp* than an undiffused or spiky* reflection.
Try not to laugh at my little analogy! I do think it is a true one.
