BookShelf or Floor Standing Speakers

I have previously posted regarding buying bookshelf speakers.  Bookshelf is all I have ever owned.  I prefer speakers for two channel stereo listening.  I am thinking about buying floor standing. 

Has anyone had bookshelves for stereo listening and changed to floor standing?  I am afraid to make the change.  Do you think floor standing gives a better listening experience in stereo?  Can you turn them up very loud?
Thanks

OK, so you anticipate living in smaller spaces and you have always liked stand mounts. Stands last several lifetimes, if you own a good pair you are good to go. Stick with stand mount speakers and get best return on investment.

Hello gochurchgo,

     I'm not understanding some of what you wrote, like "until I drop my body" and "living in stacked housing" (living in an apartment building?)  Can you explain?
     I agree you may need to limit the bass output if you're going to be living in an apartment.
     I assure you there's no voodoo involved.  I'm willing to help you with your system and possible subs but you need to determine whether your housing situation rules them out or not. 
 I have a lot of personal experience with subs and can give you step by step setup and settings instructions if you'd like.  You can either let me know on this thread or send me a personal message when you need help.
