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!

My super biased opinion - go big or go home :-)

Happy Listening

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

I own Dynaudio Confidence speakers, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. And I know Harbeth. I’ve had monitor 40.2’s, Compact 7 ES3’s, and P3ESR’s. I loved the Monitor 30’s, but they just didn’t move enough air (that’s why I got the 40.2”s). Harbeth makes FANTASTIC speakers, but I think they work best in more intimate listening areas. It seems that your budget allows for just about anything in the Dynaudio lineup, so I strongly recommend you go to a top-tier Dynaudio dealer that has the full range of Confidence speakers so you can judge for yourself. As I always say, you can pay more money if you want, but expensive and flashy are not always better. Dynaudio is a speaker you can listen to and enjoy for a long time. Cheers.
