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.

Bass is usually pressurized in the corners and that's the best place to deal with it. For guidance, read the information at:

Plants are generally useless but I do agree with you about the RealTraps which are now in my listening room. However, the information at that website should be a guide to what to do even if you have to go elsewhere for esthetic reasons. Another useful source of information is:
