Wall treatment for close listening position?

I'm finally about to start working on my music room in the new house, and am thinking about the acoustical treatment for the wall directly behind my head. My speakers are all planars (QUAD ESL, Tympani, and Eminent Technology), and the wall 5' behind them will have diffusion (racks of LP's, CD's, and books, plus perhaps some GIK panels). The opposite wall 13' away will have the listening couch right up against it, so my head will be only a foot from the wall. I'm thinking that for such a close distance, absorption (like Owens Corning 703 panels covered in fabric) on that wall would be preferable to diffusion. Agree or disagree?
