Do bass traps affect SBIR?

The output of a loudspeaker can be affected by the distance it sits in front of a wall. Low frequencies are omnidirectional. They travel rearwards, bounce off the wall, meld with loudspeaker output, and obliterate certain frequencies. The usual way to handle this problem is to have the speakers way out into the room or have them soffit mounted. However I'm not sure whether placing broadband bass traps in the corners behind the loudspeakers would help SBIR distortion at all (I'm sure room mode issues are ameliorated regardless...) Anyone have experience with this?
I plan on having copious bass absorption in the ceiling. I was wondering whether there are unique benefits to having bass traps in the front corners of the room too.
