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...I have to ask if upgrading your audio system is a catalyst for divorce? It was never a factor in any of mine and with being down for the count 3 times, you would think it would rear its ugly head. Never happened. Just wondering what you guys think? :)

I remember when I got divorced the last thing I was thinking about was buying speakers.  I was lucky to have enough cash to buy my headphone amp and a new pair of Grados.     

I packed up my system and put it in storage until the dust settled.   Fortunately I did not get "taken to the cleaners"  but a lot of guys do....    OP's priorities out of whack maybe????

OP.....I’m guessing your former wife is very happy to be rid of you as well! The user name of deadhead1000 is a black stain on the Dead culture....Spend your 100K on therapy and/or a Harley and leave the hifi world alone....
