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’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.

I agree with @larryi. I have listened to many of Vu’s, owner of DejaVu audio, creations and they are amazing. When I decide to replace my Audio Note speakers I will commission Vu to make me a pair.
