Low stands can have benefits.
Locating closer to floor usually helps bass response.
Also, especially in smaller rooms, locating closer to floor with a slight upward tilt can improve sound stage and imaging by delaying and modifying reflections somewhat.
Upward tilt is optional depending. In some cases you want more direct tweeter exposure for best results, in others not. Nothing is set in stone.
The only way I was able to get good sound in my wifes sonically challenged 12X12 cathedral ceiling sunroom was using smaller monitors (triangle Titus) on very short Isoacoustic brand stands. These were the key to getting bass that was articulate as well as strong in that room.
It took me a long time to figure out to try this but glad I did.
