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 a natural sound and  "singer-song writers, both male and female. Lots of acoustic/piano", I would check out the Songer Audio S1X. Several people said the S1X was the most natural sounding speakers at Capital Audiofest.  

Another option is the YG Hailey 3. You can get a used/demo Hailey 2 and send it to YG to be upgraded to the version 3.    I've been listening to a lot of piano and neo classical since I got my Hailey's back from YG a month ago and they are excellent for piano and violin.
