$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.

Long story short, I sold my beloved 2-channel to reduce family debt. In about a year-ish, I’ll be in a position to rebuild with a hefty budget. I loved my Harbeth + Pass Labs combo. My REL sub died before I really got to integrate it, so opinions wanted there as well. I fully understand the diminishing margin of returns when moving into some arenas, but that’s ok, opinions are strongly encouraged.

I listen to a lot of Miles Davis/Coltrane, Radiohead, Tool, Pearl Jam, Brent Cobb. I’ve often preferred “organic” or neutral, not sure how technical that is.

Be a real hero spend $10k and invest the rest just in case. I could have spent 10 times what I did on my system, but the what if’s always creep into my head.

$80k of gear is going in a dedicated room with proper treatment?

Waste of money otherwise.

Kind of hard to recommend equipment when you said nothing about your room. If you don’t have a good room then you will be wasting your money. 
if you have a smallish room then it would be foolish to recommend a large floorstanding speaker and if you have a large room, you will want something bigger than a smallish stand mount speaker. 
Before going to a dealer, go to some audio shows to get a feeling of what type of sound you like
