Speakers should always be sitting solidly on their feet to avoid distortion. Though the relative benefits you can obtain from leveling depend on the type of speakers and tweeters used. For example, having owned Infinity Renaissance 90's, I think you would get less of a change/benefit from leveling those speakers due to the nature of the High Energy Emim & Emit drivers & design of the speaker. Whereas the Magico S5's beryllium tweeters need to be sitting level & ideally at or very slightly below the listener's ears.
To that end, a friend recently came over to help me re-position my S5's after initial break in. We took time to tweak toe in & used a spirit level to level the speakers. Those changes resulted in greater balance and ease & a slight improvement in image focus.
So it depends on your speakers off-axis performance and way they interact with the room, all of which should be very apparent from initial setup.
