In traditional Mission style, the standmount LX-1 and LX2’s tweeter is positioned below the mid/bass drive unit, in order to aid time-alignment. By placing the treble unit lower than ear level, the path length from the treble unit to the listener is longer than that of the mid/bass unit. As the treble unit dome is physically forward of the mid/bass unit cone, the difference in path length helps to equalise the acoustic distance.

It all sounds like a right load of tosh, or maybe it's just me being thick - it's making assumptions about stand height, seat height, how tall the listener is, and how gullible too.
My step dad used to have a pair of these Missions, which he had on wall brackets high up on the wall, probably undoing all of Mission's R&D
