Looking for a good full range floor stander

Hello all.  Making a good two way system for a 20 x 40x 12 high room budget 12k to 16 k.  Powered by a bryston 14b cubed amp.  Have a surround system with Golden ear ref and surrounds powered by parasound a21 for mains  and Carver cinema grand for surrounds. Like the GEs  The speakers I'm looking for will be for music only lots of jazz (female vocalist a fav), classical, classic rock and roll (70's and up).  I have heard good things about proac k6, Joseph audio, and a few others but am not within 4 hours of audition range.  Real interested in people in the know about the proac or suggestions.  Thanks in advance.

As the OP has amps that offer 600 wpc., I think speaker efficiency will not be a limiting factor unless the speaker has a nasty impedance dip.
Most here on Audiogon know of my love for Vandersteen- which Audiotroy doesn't carry. The Quatros's and above have subwoofers that can be EQ'd to the room. And, I am sure they will fill his room with enough sound pressure to make his ears bleed.
My other recommendation would be MBL. They ain't efficient, nor cheap, but will out perform anything out there when given the proper signal.

@cleeds ,
I wouldn't say sales people were poorly educated, but my decades of experience with NYC dealers made me cringe, that is until I met John Rutan at Audioconnection.
Unfortunately, those cringe-worthy sales people seem to be alumni of another dealer whose name I prefer not to say- Much like the Wizard World not uttering Voldemort.
