Think the idea is to off load as much of the low end as possible to the sub. That allows the receiver to use it’s power budget for the mids and highs. I.e set the receiver small speaker crossover point as high as you dare. The low end of towers in this case goes to waste (and may even work against you).

Of course with a receiver or amp that doesn’t top out ... full range towers can be awesome.
