Emotional topic to say the least in more ways than one. Purchase a few plane tickets and invest in some time listening before making hasty decisions. A quick jump in the sack with the next one quickly removes pain of the past but usually just a quick fix.
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
So, I am getting rid of the wife (divorce, I am not burying her in the backyard!) and can now get big floor standing speakers. I currently have a Luxman integrated and model 30 Harbeth speakers, and a very good sub. Very neutral/natural sound, can listen for long sessions. But I don't get a very good image, and it seems a little too laid back. I listen mainly to singer-song writers, both male and female. Lots of acoustic/piano.
There are so many floor standers now, I'd like to shorten the list. Any suggestions to start my search? I am located in southern CA, so I can listen to almost any brand. Price should be under $100K.
I may lose a wife, but so far the freedom/cash is worth it.
Thanks all!

I agree with @bigwave1 With a budget such as yours, you'd be crazy not to make a few road (or plane) trips to check out some of the big boys in person. I'd rather spend 20K on auditioning the right speaker than spend 100K on a complete unknown. That remaining 80K will buy a lot of performance, and it will be performance that you have already heard.
