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!

I am not sure where you are in the process, but if it is not already over, then calculations of Alimony Pendente Lite, spousal support, etc may be affected by what you post here, The gist of her attorney's argument would typically be "look at what he is considering buying, so he can afford to give her [fill in the blank] per month". For a man getting divorced I recmmend that they take a "slug approach" - stay low and keep moving!

Ah - and now I read he has gone. Perhaps he listened to an attorney!

I feel pretty lucky in having a wife who loves music as much as I do. My life wouldn't be nearly as full without music OR her in it.

Agreed!  I am blessed with an amazing woman.

OP - Sorry to hear about your divorce, but sometimes it's the only option.

I'm a Rockport fan. :)

Yeah whatever, she and her attorney will be looking at this thread on the internet, identify him to be deadhead100, etc like Stephen Hawking started doing ballet one fine morning.
