Monitor VS Floor Standing Speaker?

if they take up thew same amount of speace, and you like all kinds of music, go for a full range floorstander. imaging smimaging

I think floorstanders can image just as good as monitors and sometimes better. Having a narrow front baffle to minimize diffraction is helpful. Case in point, the new Silverline Preludes image as good or better than any monitor speakers I've ever heard. Plus they have have a small footprint and much better bass than a typical monitor is capable of reproducing.

For full range and good bass (for all kind of musics).
I choose floor standing speakers.

There is a difference between full range and good bass. I don't know very many floor standing speakers that are a true full range speaker. (20-20,000Hz)

Good bass (read: quality bass) can be had in monitors. It may not go as low as some floor standers, however.
