Re: YES, do treat your room! One caution.

Bass traps placed at the 1st reflection points are NOT necessarily the best place to absorb/damp room modes, and are not as wide as most of the effective wall panels. It is a compromise use and result comapred to a full wall panel of adequate thickness (minimum of 6" thick fiberglass).

The diffusion is NOT very broadband, but mostly in te mids only. A dedicated diffusor will have a wider bandwidth, and a more random diffusion pattern, etc., rather than just horizontal specular (bounced off a vertical cylinder) difussion.

Yes, compared to nothing at the first reflection points, and to no diffusors, they are great, but if al three are used in concert, they can really tweak out a room!

You think i reccommend all that work for three different DIY acoustic devices because I am a sadist? No, wait, don't answer that!
