I've been finding this to be true. I had no bass traps at all and just recently a) pulled my speakers away from the wall, b) moved my listening spot to the 38% spot, c) adjusted the speakers to make an equilateral triangle with my chair and d) put a few 2x4' (4" thick) traps at the first reflection points and that has made quite a difference. The sound is now coming more from the speakers, not the walls.
I have more OC703 arriving next week and am going to put some panels on the ceiling as well as adding a couple traps to the back of the room. Then I'll order more OC703 and get some traps in the corners. I'm using Adam A7s and was considering a sub for them but was advised against it by a mastering engineer in Nashville, so it's more traps for me, then we'll see about that sub.
