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!

At least you won't have to worry that when you die, your wife will sell your stereo gear for what you told her you paid for it.

I was waiting for the part where the woman shot the men because she did not like their speakers.

"Word has it he and his wife reconciled and he bought a Bose soundbar."

LMAO great sense of humor.

Yamaha NS-5000. Made by a piano company. You will need more power than the Luxman though, at least 400 watts at 8 ohms. All the drivers are the same material for unmatched tonal accuracy.

I’m curious about this one.  I’ve read reviews that stated that those who have disliked Martin Logan conventional speakers should hear the XL f-200, about $5500 for the pair:
