I guess the one on the picture in your post does not do anything below 100Hz.
Something that works quite effectively below 50Hz are far more expensive.

I have experience with some of the following products with RANGE LIMITER option to increase effectiveness below 50Hz. However, the absorption effect below 80Hz was very little, according to my own measurement.

Hi Dave,
Thank you for the information. I did move the speakers from the corners over the weekend. I installed the brackets (pictured above - very nice and sturdy for $26 on Amazon) about 12" from the corner on the front wall.
So still fairly close to the corners, but no more perfect triangles formed by the bass port and corners. With the speakers mounted in them they are about 6" from the front wall (12" from corner and 6" from rear of speaker to wall). I'll post some pics as the whole configuration looks quite nice.
One last question concerning speaker placement. Unfortunately, I can't place my chair on the green X. Given this, should I orient the speakers to converge on the green X (equilateral triangle)? Or should I have them converge at my ears (imperfect triangle)?

Why not?

It's the family room, and small. I can't just plop my chair in the middle of the room. Besides, I already tried that. The wife moved it back.
Find a portable folding chair and plop it down on the X when you want to do some serious listening. Remove and store the chair when you're done.
When you're doing casual, easy listening it won't matter that you're not sitting right on center. Go and snuggle on a lopsided couch with your wife.
genungo,
For my serious, late night, six pack, no work the next day listening sessions, I'll move my chair onto the X, and back before bed. For casual listening, I'll just leave the speakers focused on the X. In other words, I'll focus the speakers on the X and leave them be.
