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!

Your current loudspeakers image very well.  With your new found freedom you might want to play with how they are located in the room.

Tell us what's already on your list.

I’m sure you can find a good woman who loves the Dead, and good sound from floor standing speakers.  They are not mutually exclusive.

I recommend Sonus Faber Liliums.  As beautiful looking as they are sounding.

My suggestions-

Dieses, or Mágicos. You’ll likely have some change left over- get a pair of Hypex amps. 
 Then, invite all the babes over for some sweet spot fun. 
Audio nirvana!

PBN Audio is in Alpine, CA. Peter Norbeck has a tremendous line up of PBN high end speakers and audio components. I have the M2!5 speakers along with a PBN pre-amp and PBN amps and for me it’s my last system until I have a larger home.
