Why are bass drivers elevated in floor standers?


Seems like nearly all floor standing speakers made in the last several years elevate the bass or mid/bass driver to about knee height leaving a large empty space below. Does this make a significant acoustic improvement?

Floor..........the only thing under the designers control. He has no way of knowing where any other (wall?) will be located in relation to the driver.
