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!

So the OP drops this massive thread on the community and just disappears? What’s up with that?

Given the kind of music you listen to (which aligns pretty closely to mine), I would give the Egglestonworks Viginti's a listen.  They were a reach for me, but I have been thrilled with mine for 5 years now.  Sunny's in Covina has a demo pair listed for sale.  These speakers sound amazing to me.  I would be interested in hearing your views about them if you happen to audition them.  Trust your ears.

And my wife not only is happy with my having this hobby, she also encouraged me to buy the 911.

Congratulations on your found freedom! And if I might say great choice on the way you chose to spend your or her money!

Vacations? what for?

New car? Already have one.
