I have the same problem - lovely wide soundstage but it lacks depth (compared to my last listening room. I suspect because, like yours, my panels are too close to the wall.
Sure there are many things you can use to diffuse the rear wave (and diffusion is what is required, IMO - not absorption). So what I am thinking of doing is creating a lattice out of 1"D bamboo poles and fixing this to the wall (which in my case is sloping :-(( ). It will run up to about 7' high and span to the outside of the panels - so about 10' wide.
The gaps between the lattice will be 1.5 - 2" square. If it delivers the soundstage depth I want ... then I can get the required WAF approval by painting the poles to match the walls.
