For most speakers the design attempt was to approach flat response without boundary reinforcement, and they may be rather boomy in a corner on the floor.
Paul Klipsch's design approach for the Heresy was to use the corner floor reinforcement and voice the speaker with an innate very clear and clean but subdued low end, so that the combined response is a natural and very clean response.
Part of the benefit is that more low bass is produced with less power from the amp and less cone excursion of the speaker, both of those things allowing higher levels of cleaner music.
