Redirecting bass frequencies


Just asking for opinion/suggestion.
Bass in my room seems to be accumulating in corners behind the speakers. From my listenning position, bass is not as defined and not as strong as I would like. However, if I stand or sit in line with one of the speakers, I hear that the bass travels better along the wall, but not towards where I ususally sit and listen, which is about 7 feet from each speaker. I have experimented with speaker placement but haven't gotten the result I am looking for. May be someone knows what needs to be done to redirect the bass from the corners behind the speakers towards the listenning position. Bass traps? Would they help or make it worst?
Speakers are B&W N803, amp McCormack DNA-125, pre ARC LS-15. No subwoofer is used in this set up.
Thanks in advance.

This worked surprisingly well for me. http://www.optp.com/shop.cfm?groupid=Foam%20Roller%20Therapy&catid=Foam%20Rollers
Helped trap the bass, and reduced the effect of the all-too-lively high frequencies. You can cut the semi-circle versions in half and place them in the corners, or on the walls. They are more dense than foam, and could be made to look decorative. They are also cheap enough to be worth trying out. And make sure you keep one for working out the knots in your hips and IT band for all you runners & cyclists out there.
