I agree with Neuro about the first reflection points on the side wall. Try this to illustrate. Stand at the first reflection points and if you can hear whatever your speakers are playing, that untreated wall is bouncing all that you're hearing, right back to your listening position. Walls make lousy speakers and most assuredly are mucking up the sound of your real speakers.
If you want a cheap way to try diffusion, hang some bubble wrap (yes, bubble wrap) behind your speakers. The large bubble variety makes an excellent diffusor and can show you where "real" diffusors will work best & how much diffusion you may need.
