Absorbers or Diffusors for 1rst/2nd refl. points?

Any thoughts on this: from my reading it seems easy enough to build diffusors for specific frequencies - would this make more sense than absorbing panels?
I love the live sound I get & don't want to dampen it.
I think I have more problems in the bass which I'm hoping to address with tube traps, the mid and treble sound fine.
Just a thought at my early stage of treating my new small room. Have CARA & a RS spl coming - any input from Rives and that other fabulous man who answers everything - can't look up his name or I'll have to retype all this - own Echobusters I think.

Thanks for these.
to Herman - took your advise the last time , was very impressed by the review, particularly as I have Virgos & know the importance of setting them up. Thinking we spoke the same language, mailed 8th Nerve but never heard back.
to Rives - hoping the CARA I bought from you will point me in the right direction.
Big apologies to Ethan Winer - my brain goes dead at 4 in the morning !

Had a nice mail from Nathan at 8th Nerve.
In no way meant to be disparaging - it'd be a brave man who said he never missed a mail and I realise people are busy.
On vacation at the moment Nathan but appreciate your mail and will get back to you soon.
Thanks Simon

Having great fun with the CARA !
My positioning was almost spot on but the recommendations when adding room treatments helped lots. I think I would have went overboard for the size of the room had a not tried a simulation first. Now all I need are some panels !
