There isn't an optimal height "Par Se", the room has a substantial influence on the Speaker, being an environment very very different to the environment the Speakers were created in by the design team.
Speakers are a bit like a military plan, the Plan remains excellent until the opposition are engaged, then the training and principles of the Team become the structure that is depended on for success.
The design for a Speaker is excellent until the Speaker become the item used in a the New Environment. Only then does the secondary requirements take precedence, which is how to best couple the Speakers within the space to perform at their most optimised.
In many cases a tilt to a front baffle has the positive effect for the End Sound being listened to, but is definitely not the full resolve to the issue.
