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!

Get some Tekton speakers, then you won't have to worry about getting married ever again.

Inna stated, "Replacing a woman with speakers is a very unorthodox maneuver. Orthodox would be replacing a woman with a woman."

A very astute statement if I ever heard one.  As much as I like music...

My suggestion look at a pair of Goldenear Triton Reference speakers, currently discontinued and discounted. Consistently recommended as a Stereophile, class A full range floor standing speakers. Of course, you can always spend more, but you don’t need to. Currently, mated with a Primaluna Evo 300 integrated amplifier, in a comprehensively acoustically treated space. these are end game speakers for me so, I currently, have ordered upgraded crossovers, driver wiring, and speaker binding posts, to get that Nth improvement in sound quality from TG Acoustics. Best of luck to you, life is short, enjoy!
