Monitors vs Full Range

other than room constraints,what would be the reasons to choose a Monitor speaker over a full range floor standing type? As much as I try to find things better in my Monitors,(Acoustic Energy ae2, Sci Fi Crown Joules, Sonus Fabers, etc etc) they cant stack up to my Duntech floor standers. A monitor just lacks that mid bass that gives recordings a live real feel.

better imaging, & soundstaging - especially that holographic disappearing-speaker effect is usually possible w/monitors. if the bass isn't good enuff, use subs - i like 'em a lot, w/subwoofers. but, i like subwoofers - i even ran my full-range -2db@20hz thiel 3.5's to good effect w/subwoofers. look at the retail $135k genesis speakers currently f/a here on a-gon - they're monitors w/subs! ;~)

i pretty-much agree w/what everyone's said here. that's why i think even nilthepill's set-up could be improved w/a pair of great subs flanking his "monitors"! :>)
