Have you tried these ceiling diffusors?

I have read that diffusors do not always work that well unless they are positioned several feet away from the listener. If I recall correctly, the idea is that the diffused sound needs to travel a certain distance in order to to coalesce again before reaching the ears (Floyd Toole suggested that the back wall was the best place to use diffusion devices in the home, but I'm not sure if that means he was against ceiling placement).

If the above is true, typical 8 foot ceilings combined with 40 inch ear height (when sitting) might cause proximity problems. What do you think?
