I almost never prefer mini-monitors. Well-designed floor standers can have just as good imaging and resolution and take up the same space when you consider stands for the minis. Additionally, with floorstanders the designer makes a woofer section that integrates well with the midrange and highs and you don't need to try mating a subwoofer, which almost never has equal results (although a separate sub could have greater ultimate extension). The best things I can say about minis is that they're cute and easy to ship.
Mind you, I was impressed with the Mark & Daniel monitors, which haver pretty good bass as-is, and could be an exception to the rule.
