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.

An almost 10,000 cubic foot room and people are recommending speakers with 5 inch woofers for a 600 wpc amplifier? I know everyone means well and it depends entirely on the desires of the OP but if I had a room like that I would deeply appreciate that a dealer took the time and offered advice. Furthermore, how is it biased to recommend products in equal measure alongside products said dealer does not carry?

The Maggies mentioned at the beginning should be 20.7, pair with a couple of subs and you could be there. The new 30.7 would definitely do the job but run about $30k and arr to nrw to find on the used market.

There are people here on audiogon that are FAR worse and much more obnoxious than audiotroy. We all have opinions, and it doesn’t bother me as long as there aren’t any personal attacks or "I’m smarter than you" attitudes.
They sell audio components for a living, so yes, they’re going to have strong opinions one way or the other.
