I have owned many floor standers ,a good monitors disappears better and images great . I mod all the Xovers in every loudspeakers I buy for even in $20k+ speakers and up many are
not what I would consider great parts quality in their Xover which is the heart of all Loudspeakers.
i recently bought the very good Elac Vela 403 monitors with their latest gen -5 Jet AMT tweeter ,and Diamond sandwich Mid-bass,
very well thought out design and sounded very good even before Xover upgrades,and uses the excellent SVS SB 3000 subwoofers with their excellent app. Loading the stands with sand ,lead shot
makes a noticable improvement , and I had custom cut black granite tops for monitors and subs which makes great mass loading for resonance absorption and increased imaging for under $6k this setup competes very well with floorstanders 2x+ the cost.and does several things better.
