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

@OP,
Going to floor standers will require more space for positioning.
Is that something you have?
The best part of a floorstander is the additional cabinet volume that will enhanced lower frequency reproduction (among other things).
As akg pointed out, you really need to audition as many manufacturers as possible and find a speaker that 'speaks' to you.
