Soundstage and explosive dynamics?

I’m looking high and low for speakers with the following attributes:

1. Wide and deep soundstage. Speakers can disappear from the soundstage.
2. Decent imaging.
3. Explosive dynamics with force and surprise.
4. Costs less than $10k.

What you are looking for may be a larger speaker rather than smaller.  

I am loving the dynamic shading I get from the Klipsch Cornwall speakers.  Very hard to beat for the money.

RCA shearer horn system you may have to do a bit of set up but you can buy the parts for about 10k

Focal Utopia should do it. There is one here for sale for about $12k, you could probably have it for $10k. It can sound a little bright with some solid state equipment and wrong cables.

A large room and a beefy (pro audio) power amp are other parts of the equation, of course.

I disagree. Professional amplifiers often rely on fans, which help lower cost, increase available power and pose no problem in most professional settings. But the noise of those same fans often intrudes in a quiet domestic environment. It's usually worth the cost to use an amplifier intended for home use, which would typically rely on heatsinks for cooling rather than a noisy fan.
