It depends how far behind you the wall is; in my space, it is far enough back that reflections have a minimal effect. That is partly because there is a hallway and an open doorway.
Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener?
I have treated the 1st and 2nd reflection points and I have sound panels between my speakers. I also have tube traps in all 4 corners, but I am not sure what (if any) should be done with the wall behind the listener.
That wall presently has a DIY rack system that holds about 5000-6000 cd’s. I believe it helps scatter the sound. But I’m not sure if that is the right approach.
So, what are you guys using on that wall? Diffusion, Absorbtion, Reflection? Anything else?
I would appreciate your thoughts.

I would recommend diffusers on the back wall, given your room's layout. I use the following in 6" thickness: https://www.gikacoustics.com/product/6a-alpha-panel-diffusor-absorber/ There in fact a combination diffuser / absorber / bass traps

You don't wall sound directly behind you bouncing back at your head. Directly behind I use absorption and then to the L and R I use 3D diffusors, maybe try either of these: https://auralex.com/tfusor-3d-sound-diffusor/ or |
