Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander?

Listened to B&W's 6 series and much prefered the 686 and 685 to the more expensive floorstanders. I'm a junkie for clear and coherent vocals and the floorstanders seemed to muddy the sound.
Listened to Dynaudio Focus 110s and loved them. Compared them to the Contour 5.4s and I loved the top end of them even more than the Focus' but was again bothered by what I want to call an incoherence... lack of focus... integration... with the low end.

Owned Totem Arros and Dreamcatcher monitors with Dreamcatcher sub and prefered the dreamcatcher monitors over the Arros and without the sub, too.

Am I just a bookshelf guy? Was it my choice of floorstanders? Setup? Anyone have better words to describe what I'm trying to say? I certainly love the low end and dynamic grunt of the big ones but not at such expense.

Marty: I'm not kidding. You are a moron. You weren't taking liberties with the English language. You're sloppy and you obviously don't know better. You can be thankful people edit -- probably heavily -- anything you may have "authored."

The only pattern I see is that you think you know a lot more than you will ever know about most things in life. My conjectures were merely intended to reinforce that fact, which was made evident by your posts. It's called sarcasm.

Well, I have already wasted too much time on you. Enjoy your system.

Sloppy is right - it's informal. I don't edit.
It's called sarcasm when you're right. When you're wrong, it's called wrong.

Bye. Enough for me - last word is yours.

Tvad, of course you're right. It got under my skin because I let it.
