Diffuse Front Wall? Absorb rear wall?
@meerzistar. I ordered mine from ATS on Amazon. Each diffuser is about 8" deep and scatters from 325 Hz up to 3000. In the past few days, I've added more ASC tube traps and they really clean up the strident sounds. What really helped was a pair of...

chlv0ter, by any chance, did you compare the ASC tube traps to Owens Corning 703 fiberglass? I made my own OC 703 bass traps for the corners and wonder now if it's worth upgrading. Thanx.
