RE: Brace Height
Yep--one way to get the most out of your bow--quieten it down before you add the silencers, help get rid of handshock too.
I think there is a recommended lowest point because too low can stress the limbs and riser too much, and some folks just don't know where to start.

RE: Brace Height
Each bow will have a cetain BH where the bow shoots the best and is not AS noisy.
Regardless of how low a BH a bow will tolerate, I have always found, for my draw-length, if I get below 7 1/2" brace, the bow is too noisy and I can feel the shock much more. One older Bear I have pulls and shoots extremely nice at an 8" brace. I do not want the limbs over-flexing.
