That's the thing....Is the sound that your missing contingent on the added size and cabinet resonances inherent in floor-standers?
I would take a pair home from your local dealer and see how they stack up to the DeCapos. The DeCapos are a very nice speaker, - they don't have the raw detail that some other bookshelves have, - but are a nice speaker...
What is your room like? Do you have enough room for a floor-stander, - or, - do you need a good floorstander that does well in the near-field....???
Some good floorstanders that I've heard recently are the Silverline Sonatina II and the Triangle Lyrr. But, - you also might like some of the high value Jeff Joseph speakers. (To me, - my favorite is the Triangle, - and if I had your associated equipment, - I would WANT those Lyrrs). However, - if you are easily annoyed by sibilance in the upper treble area, - the Josephs would be a better bet)....
Compared to what you have available locally, - these speakers represent a much higher value, - IMO....
