Hi Dennis, would you recommend diffusers behind left and right main loudspeakers in HT usage. Why?
The room will be used for stereo listening too.

F, Diffusers require an open space just like speakers to emit energy into the room. Placing them behind the speakers puts an object in front of them just like placing an object in front of your speakers. Use absorption for the front and side walls in your home theater . Use diffusion on the ceiling and rear walls.
