High WAF "bass traps"

My stereo is in our living room. Whatever acoustic treatment I do, I need to keep the living room a...living room! My lovely spouse has agreed that nicely made walnut framed acoustic panels will look good on the walls at the first reflection points(she gets to pick the fabric), so that is not a problem.

The problem is bass trapping in the corners behind my speakers. Speakers are on stands in the narrow end of the room, which is about 14' wide. That end wall has a brick fireplace in center, which makes 2 - 4' wide, 1.5' deep "alcoves", which have wall mounted shelves in them. I need to do what I can to trap bass in there, without the option of putting big bass traps in front of them. I have read that books and magazines and LPs can do some good - is that true?

I welcome any suggestions you may have.
