Looking for a good full range floor stander

Hello all.  Making a good two way system for a 20 x 40x 12 high room budget 12k to 16 k.  Powered by a bryston 14b cubed amp.  Have a surround system with Golden ear ref and surrounds powered by parasound a21 for mains  and Carver cinema grand for surrounds. Like the GEs  The speakers I'm looking for will be for music only lots of jazz (female vocalist a fav), classical, classic rock and roll (70's and up).  I have heard good things about proac k6, Joseph audio, and a few others but am not within 4 hours of audition range.  Real interested in people in the know about the proac or suggestions.  Thanks in advance.

I would agree that personal audition is the best but I am 300 miles from anybody that has any of these speakers at best and most are in Other states.  I do appreciate all the suggestions and i will continue  to research recommendations before i comit

When is audiotroy going to recommend something that he doesn’t sell? Never!
Legacy speakers are decent, I hear them at each RMAF. There are many other speakers imo that are better than Legacy for around the same or a little more $$$.
Usher BE20, Revel Salon or Studio, to name a few

Rbsteno it is not about better it is about filling a large room with sound. 

That is tricky and difficult to pull off. 

You need prodigious bass and great efficiency

Nothing without good room correction sound very good in a small hotel room. Jim Salk was kind enough to agree to participate in an event in June our club put on. We had legitimate rooms, 19 x 29 x 12. His speakers were excellent sounding. Salk does not use a 4 to 1 component cost to retail price ratio as most makers do. We guesstimated the Song 3s we had @ $5,900 had about $2k in raw SEAS speakers. Amazing wood work goes into his speakers too.
