In a nutshell the impact of these mysterious devices on the sound of my system is remarkably positive.
Recordings I'm familiar with sound fresh and new details are revealed. I've noticed that I cannot stop listening to a piece once it gets going (and these are 60+ min symphonic pieces).
One of the main differences I notice now is that the reproduced timber of the instruments sound more realistic, more there, more vivid. This is particularly true for wind instruments such as brass and woodwinds. The difference is not huge but enough to be noticeable and to enhance my emotional connection to the music. I also notice that the diffusers create the effect that there is more space behind the speakers opening up the soundstage - pretty cool.
I've attached a couple of pictures to show the set up. The "black boxes" on the wall are the Q7d Diffusors and the red panel is the 242 Acoustic Panel with scatter plate. The later provides both absorption and diffusion while the former are pure diffusion. To give you a sense of dimension the Q7d Diffusors measure 46 inches high and 19 inches wide.
A very nice tweak that worked out great for me. I might get a few more panels to experiment. Recommended!

Carlos. This is tremendous!! I like the color choices too. This is the first I have seen those beautiful 100.5s.
Just wait till those diffusers break in!! I hear at the 300 hr mark they are killer!!
