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

Not to take this thread sideways but what about running the risk of not getting optimal integration with the subs and stand mounts? I prefer stand mounts for aethetics and mobility but I'm scared of never getting subs to integrate correctly for all music.

Thanks @noble100 I’ll be living in increasingly small places (most likely studio apartments) until I drop my body, so the swarm thing is probably too much. As I said I fear I’ll not have the know-how to blend the subs and also afraid that living in stacked housing will make subs prohibitive. It seems from all I read that there’s All kinds of voodoo involved yet everyone recommends subs anyway. Probably just my perception.

i don’t have anyone to help me so if I went this route I’d be going in blind and hoping for the best info that the Internet has.
