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

Thanks guys.  You are correct that I need to listen to floor mounts.   I do have the room for them.  The bass is what interests me most of floor vs let's call it bookshelf or full range bookshelf.  I don't need earth shaking bass, but enough to play lows.  Mostly acoustic stuff.
After reading your thoughts on this, I have decided to go with a large, or full range book shelf.  I have Dynaudio X18 book shelves now, but would like to purchase some better speakers. 

I am convinced to stay the course with bookshelves.  I want to thank all of you who provided some great advice on here.  You saved me a ton of money and searching.
