Have you seen the foam they sell and call "acoustic treatment"? I fell for it once a long time ago. I put those cheap foam "bass traps" up in my room and they provided no noticeable relief from the problem. The density of the bass foam was no different than the diffuser foam. It's the same foam just shaped differently. I bought the hype and spent about $200 and my room sounded no better. The OP need not repeat my mistake.
