Probably, yes. Measurements and listening tests will confirm, but bass traps are used in order to cut down on ringing in the lowest frequencies. As an example, the first picture below is my friends right speaker before adding a corner bass trap; the second picture is after adding them:

The glass wool might help absorb reflections, but it won't have the effect a nice, thick bass trap will.

I demo'd maybe 50 sets of speakers from B&W to Salk, and I decided to let my trial period expire and keep the Towers. In hindsight, I would have paid more for them -- that's how supremely impressed I am with the Towers (w/ Sierra NrT center and the Rythmik sub).
