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.

Most audio sales people I have known, and I was one once, were rather poorly educated, impressionable, dishonest, mythologists whose sole purpose was to sell whatever stuff they had in stock that had the largest profit margin.
Wow, you must have been hanging around with the wrong crowd. My experience has been just the opposite: Most dealers have been very well educated, often with technical degrees; absolutely honest; and patient so as to allow the customer to make up his own mind. I wouldn't work with a dealer that didn't uniformly act with integrity.

It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
You nailed it.

There an adjective for those BMW salespeople who curl their lip at the mention of Mercedes, Audi, etc. And that is: obnoxious.

@cleeds ,
I wouldn't say sales people were poorly educated, but my decades of experience with NYC dealers made me cringe, that is until I met John Rutan at Audioconnection.
Unfortunately, those cringe-worthy sales people seem to be alumni of another dealer whose name I prefer not to say- Much like the Wizard World not uttering Voldemort.

Evening

There's only really one name you need to know and that's Pallmann. They have a single serpentine drive and an aluminium finned German power unit. That said, if you have a smaller room this could be overkill. Remember to remove absolutely everything from the room, seal doors and windows, and  overalls, gloves and a respirator. Good luck
