Room Treatment, Panel Sound Diffusers

So I am setting up a third sound system in a spare bedroom.  I want to really get the walls and perhaps ceiling treated for optimal sound.  The bed will be taken out.  I will put in high quality duplexes like the ones sold by Cullen Cables.  However, there are a bunch of different sound diffuser panels with many being quite expensive.  I am going to do the install myself so nothing too complicated.  Looking for advice on the type of wall treatment that works but won't break the bank.

Thanks!

However, if you don't want to DIY, I used a product called Primacoustic.
They were purchased from Sweetwater Sound. Treated all four walls plus the ceiling in a dedicated room.
Placed panels at all first reflection points, plus others at random.
Used system setup guidelines from Jim Smith's book Get Better Sound.
Improved the sound more than anything else.
Very happy with the results.
The room and the setup will give you half of the sound you will hear.
