Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers

@deadhead1000  The Wilsons I mentioned earlier are listed on Audiogon.  I contacted the owner and he would be glad to have you over to listen. I have heard this system and it is spectacular.  Steve is also a great guy.

Given your budget, you could probably enlist a skilled builder/artisan and have a bespoke set made for you. Buying "off the shelf" speakers, you'll likely invest a lot of time and perhaps some $$ looking for synergy (which certainly could be fun). On the other hand, if you go with a builder, you can look at your current components' specs, strengths/weaknesses, etc., the specs of the physical space in which they'll perform, and your listening/sonic preferences... and build a speaker set to maximize synergy of your "constants." 

Noting your location, you may want to reach out to Fritz of Fritz Speakers: https://www.fritzspeakers.com/  I've no experience with his work, but have read a lot of very positive things about his speakers; to wit: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/fritz-speakers.

As SoCal has a lot of folks involved in audio & engineering, I have to guess that there are plenty of other people that can craft a wicked set of speakers too.

Unrelatedly, noting your username, are you headed to the Sphere this spring? ;^) 

+1 on the Volti Vittora. Super efficient, beautiful, musical... and I doubt that one could find a more dynamic, engaging and fun speaker regardless of price. 

Howard Stern’s advice to Chuck Norris while he was going through his difficult divorce years ago — “You know why divorce is so expensive?  Because it’s worth it!”  Can’t help thinking this is even more true for audiophiles. 

While picking up a pair of subs, my son and I were thrown the keys to these Legacy Valors. I have a very nice system.... these things made us astonished. You talk about strings! Wow, sounded like the guitar was sitting right in front of us. 80 grand. I recommend you go hear a pair.
