Monitor VS Floor Standing Speaker?


I am new the HI-FI world and was wondering besides the obvious shape and size,what are the diffrences between monitor and floor standing speakers. How would I know what I need. EG (Totem Arro vs Totem rainmaker)
Sorry if this is a stupid question.

There is a difference between full range and good bass. I don't know very many floor standing speakers that are a true full range speaker. (20-20,000Hz)

Good bass (read: quality bass) can be had in monitors. It may not go as low as some floor standers, however.
