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!

For imaging, sound stage, realism, and great bass look into Charney Audio. Depending on your room size no sub will be needed. I have the Companions with Voxativ AF 2.6 drivers. They are a 6” driver in my 11x15x8 room with accurate deep bass, sweet engaging midrange and great highs.  Vocals are off the charts! Listening to Holly Cole, Janis Ian, Diana Krall, Ella, Lady Blue,…is your own private concert! So much I can write about but let your ears make the decision!
