Bookshelf or Floorstanding speakers?
Discussion
I'd say floor standers provided you have the room. Better sound for less money
Bookshelf on stands !! Why they take the same room as floor standers and you need to buy the stands. WAF often means bookshelves in corners might be your only option but floor standers can sound good and be small.
Me I just went the whole hog, horns

For what watching TV, listening to music or combined use?
Duntech Marquis for TV, Impulse H2 for the vinyl system and a DSP active 'project' for the main system. All floorstanders.I have a pair of active open baffle dipoles in the garden; no room influence outside and no cabinet colouration.

Nothing fancy...... just floor standers Monitor Audio Silver 5i's .... used with stereo hi-fi, and also part of 5.1 set-up (monitor audio silver 10i center, mission M7Ds rears and a Dali SWA12 sub)..... all a good 10-12years and going strong....... the speakers are all used daily as part of the tv set-up so nicely worn in
Two systems here, both stand mounted. ProAc Studio 115s in the main music system, Rega RS1s on the other.
If I had an unlimited budget and lots of space, I'd go for floorstanders. Sadly I don't have either, so stick to stand mounts.

If you have the space and the budget floor standers every time for me.
I have Audio Physic Sparks with Quad pre and power amps, a Micromega CD player and a Funk Firm Vector turntable. Sounds magical, although looking for a valve amp to complete the system, maybe a Unison but open to suggestions.
