$15,000 Floor-Standing Speaker Selection and Advice

As per title, have a budget of $15k to spend on new floor-standing speakers.

Was wondering your opinion and experiences within this price category if you done so before?

There are a tone of brands out there but I'd peoples first hand opinion and experience in the matter.

Examples are:
Perlisten Audio S7T
AudioSolution Figaro XL
Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII G2
Buchardt A700

What are some suggestions on good speakers to choose from at that price point?

Room is large 7m x 8m, so would need large speakers I assume.

Thanks for looking.

@mark200mph You are 100 percent correct. If you be silly with amps, then, that's on you, not the amp or the speaker fault.

I might go drive the Ferrari into a wall and then blame the car for driving into the wall. Make sense right lol.

Went to AXPONA and loved the Audio Solutions Figaro SL, Morel Sopra 634, and the Dynaudio options.  And for those that are not opposed to bookshelf units on a stand, everyone seems to love Dutch and Dutch.  If the Morels offer a 30 day trial, it is a no brainer to try.

You might also look at ATC, the SCM50PSLT passives or the SCM50ASLT actives. They are the floor-standing variant of their large classic stand-mounts (low stands). The passives are a little above your $15K new, but used, probably below. They have the same speaker as an active for more money, as you would expect, but the amplifier match to the speaker is good.
