Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience


So the past month I started a couple of threads on speaker choice on AVS forum (One asked for Powered/Active floor standing Speaker choices and another one around non-active FS speakers for a tube amp I was looking at).

But I've come to realize this was the wrong tact, got lots of flack much deserved and wanted to try to solicit the advice/opinions on this forum which I just discovered.

Short background...Hunkered down in a suburb just outside NYC now for the past 3-4 months, I started to get the itch for a dedicated 2 channel stereo Turntable setup in our living room in May. After much research and twists and turns and immediate upgraditis, as some know on here from other posts, I've finally settled in and now own a Rega Planar 10 Turntable. I also own a Sutherland phono --20/20 with LPS and that's staying. Right now the phono preamp is hooked up direct to a pair of ELAC ARF51 floorstanding speakers (all drivers powered by built in AB amps) which I like a lot BUT ITS HERE THAT I WANT MORE. Btw, I love the ELAC design of mounting the tweeter concentric in the mid driver -- makes sense to me.  I kinda wish ELAC would take the same design and make a reference speaker but thats for another day.

So to swap out the ELACs, I will obviously need an amp, but I will figure that out later and want to focus on getting the right speakers for me for what I want. So what do I want?

1. Floorstanders. Close to full range as possible. No subs.
2. Looks count since in my main living room.
3. Speakers that prioritize Imaging Imaging Imaging. That disappear in the room creating an intimate but 3D listening experience. Clean (Accurate) warm sound. No distortion. I would easily sacrifice low end for untiring highs and warm mids I don't listen to metal or hiphop anymore so I don't need loudness, more like lounge experience if that makes sense. Apologize if I got the adjectives wrong but its personal description of what I'm seeking.
4. Price Point - -$10k-25k. Room is 22x18 with 25 foot ceiling

I would like to audition/demo before I buy and since I live in the Tri-State area it should be possible. But I'm finding that obviously difficult to do right now. I listened to a pair of Salk speakers but didn't love them. And have an appt with the Audio Doctor in NJ in two weeks.

Thanks in advance.

Imaging and palpable presence are of the highest priority for me. I have found that with the Dali Epicon series. I have the smaller Epicon 2s that with a subwoofer come close to recreating a piano in my listening room.
Having said that you should listen to the Epicon 6 or 8’s.  If I did it over again, I would have started with either of those models that are medium size floor standing loudspeakers.  Also, it doesn’t hurt that the Epicons are absolutely gorgeous.

Spatial X3 or the Cube Nenuphar...no subs needed with either, easy to drive great looks and have draw You in non-fatiguing sound. Won’t take up tons of real estate. Well within the price range. 
I also recommend Raidho. I have a pair of D2.1s with a Gryphon Diablo 120 that are decidedly intimate, holographic, warm. They are not full-range however, but I'm not missing anything. Still you should give Raidho a listen. If you buy Raidho used you might make it in your price range (that's what I did). But you price range is perhaps too restrictive for all you are asking the system to do. You can get the Diablo for under 10K and it is one of the very best integrateds out there.
Since you like the concentric driver--why not Kef Reference line? Paired with a Hegel H190 or 390, could be a real winner for you. Also worth a listen.
Try to find Anthony Gallo 5LS
And two Gallo Subs. 
Won't bang on about these but worth a listen if you can find a mint pair.
