Well, it's a tower. So it's nice for places where floor space is at premium. It also puts the midwoofer and tweeter at ear level, even without a stand. But that also means the woofer is high enough that floor bounce affects midbass response. That's always the case with a two-way system though - If the midwoofer is two or three feet up, either by being stand-mounted or by being in a tall cabinet, then there is a reflector two or three feet away. Reflectors always cause a null at the frequency where they are 1/4λ from the source. So with stands or towers, you gain a little and you lose a little. Midrange is at ear level, but bass is too so floor bounce comes into play.
