Stand mount speakers have worked better in my space. It's a big room, but the actual listening space is pretty small, I'm about 9 feet from tweeters. Stand mounts have provided better imaging, soundstage, and clarity. Plus I have 4 large subwoofers in the room, which more than compensate for any lack of bass and add to the soundstage and feeling of "being there" when listening to live music. Some stand mount speakers are capable of producing a surprising amount of bass on their own. My current speakers are Gershman Studio XDB, which are rated down to 23 hz.
