Are floor standing or bookshelf speakers better for a stereo setup?

[PAT.P]

I soooooooooo disagree with you, you have been around to many audiophiles.You can find superb floorstanding speakers (Brand New) for 500 bucks ,even a little less.You can also find really great bookself speakers for much less. I dont know what type of sound some people are seeking but if you cant find really great sound in this price range your expectations are unrealistic and you"ll never be totally satified with anything.Just my opinion

What superb floorstanding speakers are you talking about?Dont get much for $500 for towers.
