I have always been biased towards Floorstander speakers. In my opinion they look nicer, don't need stands and I (usually) don't have to worry about power. I've been considering updating my speakers to the Monitor Audio Silver 300s but have been hearing that I will be better off with bookshelves. The reasoning being that the sound will be less muddy and more open. Regardless of whether I get towers or bookshelves I will have a sub. So my thought is that if bookshelves and a sub generally tend to sound better than towers and a sub. Should I consider getting the Monitor Audio Gold 100 instead of the Silver 300? I haven't heard the gold series but have auditioned the silver series and loved the sound.
