Given your musical preference I would strongly recommend listenting to the Sonus Faber Grand Pianos. I have a pair and absolutely love the sound. John Coltrane Blue Train is so real I close my eyes and forget I'm home. Same with Vivaldi's 4 Seasons and Diane Krall. What I find more amazing is that they also do a PHENOMENAL job with classic rock and alternative rock which is what I listen to 70% of the time.

The only complaint some may make is that they bottom out, but keep your sub and you are golden. I'm NOT using a sub and still have no complaints.

Good luck.
