It really depends on what is going on in your room. If your speakers tend to run "hot" up top you may need absorption on the ceiling. If the speakers run dull or even warm, diffusion may get you there.
Acoustics experts - a little help please
Hey all,
I have 9 foot ceilings and I sit in a 9 foot equilateral triangle with my speakers. Do I need to treat the ceiling? Absorption or defraction? I'm trying to get a deeper more 3D soundstage.Speakers are 46" from the front wall which is treated with absorption and defraction.
Thanks!

@maprik What are the other dimensions of your room? |
The room is actually 2 rooms joined. My music room and a dining room with a large opening between them. Essentially no left wall for the left speaker and the right wall is about 8 feet from the right speaker. There is a bany grand piano that helps with defraction of the right speaker. Floor is hardwood but I have a nice thick rug and pad under that. See system photos. |
