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!

 inna also makes a great point, To get those fancy speakers to reach their potential many of us will want the components that pull the best sound from them.

I would echo the recommendation given by @fastfreight - the Vivid Audio Giya series speakers.  You will absolutely love your audio system with a pair of those speakers!

It would seem if $100k speakers are in the budget a dedicated listening room would be too. That way no worries about significant other's feng shui ideas.

My humble system with 5' tall planars  is in a dedicated listeng room with styrofoam accustic panels.

Funny thing is my wife spends more time there with me than the rest of her self designed rooms.
