Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers

So, I am getting rid of the wife (divorce, I am not burying her in the backyard!) and can now get big floor standing speakers. I currently have a Luxman integrated and model 30 Harbeth speakers, and a very good sub. Very neutral/natural sound, can listen for long sessions. But I don't get a very good image, and it seems a little too laid back. I listen mainly to singer-song writers, both male and female. Lots of acoustic/piano.

There are so many floor standers now, I'd like to shorten the list. Any suggestions to start my search? I am located in southern CA, so I can listen to almost any brand. Price should be under $100K. 

I may lose a wife, but so far the freedom/cash is worth it.

Thanks all!

I always thought guys were worse off after divorce.

Double up on subs. Stereo. Rather than spending < $100k on speakers with your current setup, work with a dealer on high efficiency speakers with low powered tube amps.

If you dont ever want to get married again, just buy some giant Soundlabs.

This helps to put the new priority on display, LOL!

I fired my wife 15 years ago and had a great time raising my kids by myself.  I have 4 pairs of floorstanding speakers in my living room.  I'm in So Cal too.
