Absorbtion or diffusion??


Hello out there!

Just wondering what anyone's experiance has been regarding room treatment, using DIPOLAR loudspeakers, for both the wall behind the speakers, as well as the wall behind my listening position.

I have a "dedicated" listening room, with the speakers (M.L. ReQuests) aprox. 4 feet from the back wall, with about 5 feet behind my chair.

What typically works better behind the speakers?? Diffusion, or absorbtion? Ditto for the wall behind the speaker?

THANKS TO ANY & ALL!!

Martin Logan Quest z speakers didn't like my Genesis speakers setting couple feet behind them at all the bass wasn't defined and just didn't sound right moving the Genesis out of the way helped considerably where the Logans was approximately 5 feet from the rear wall not treated any way I don't think absorption is something Logans like they may prefer diffusion didn't really bother to investigate it at the time. Have found many speakers like a room lens directly behind the speakers placed against the rear wall it helps clarify their sound.
